I am a Senior Product Designer with 15+ years of experience crafting user-centred digital products, and the last seven focusing on UX and UI for SaaS. I specialise in turning complex workflows into intuitive, visually engaging interfaces, designed end-to-end in Figma from wireframes and prototypes through to high-fidelity UI and developer handoff. I’ve been hands-on with AI-driven products and chat-based interfaces, using AI as part of my design process to accelerate prototyping. I thrive in messaging-native experiences where clarity is essential, and I’m fully set up for remote work, having co-founded and led design-led teams across multiple engagements.
