About
Senior Product Designer and Design Systems specialist. Most of my work lives in the hard parts of software — testing platforms, IDEs, dashboards, hardware consoles — where a screen holds hundreds of decisions and one wrong label costs an hour.
I stay close to engineering: I write front-end code, keep design systems honest, and finish with the motion and micro-details that make a product feel considered rather than assembled. AI sits inside that loop too — discovery, prototypes, first-pass code — with every output checked by hand.

How I work
Design tokens, component architecture and documentation — so the product stays coherent long after I've moved on.
I build in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and check every idea for front-end feasibility before it reaches a sprint.
Interviews, analytics and usability tests pick the direction. When the data disagrees with me, the data wins.
Animation that explains a state or confirms an action — never decoration laid over a confusing flow.
AI is part of the process, not a shortcut: research agents and LLMs to synthesize user feedback and benchmark competitors, generated code for functional prototypes, AI-assisted first passes on copy and edge cases. Every output is reviewed, tested and credited — the judgement stays mine.

Beyond the screen
The same eye for line, detail and patience — in a medium that never ships. Oils, coloured pencil, and coins, medals and pendants I design, engrave and polish by hand.
