Hi, I’m a product designer with a strong visual and systems-driven background, specialising in fintech, retail and business banking, SaaS, payments, and money products across responsive web and native platforms. I’ve shipped features within large enterprise environments, consulted for tier 1 banks, and led design at a fintech start-up. This has given me a broad range of skills and experience, along with the ability to work lean, and adapt to different levels of ambiguity and scale. Alongside core product design, I actively integrate AI into my workflow. I’ve connected Figma to Storybook via a custom MCP server, allowing me to experiment with AI-assisted design systems, component generation, and end-to-end workflows. Staying current in this space is important, and I apply these learnings directly to improve speed, quality, and consistency in delivery. You can view my portfolio here: _Website not available.
