What Sets Me Apart
I bring thoughtful design, agile collaboration, and technical fluency to every product I shape—applying these strengths through a diverse toolkit that includes Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, and emerging AI tools.
Data-Driven Designer
From onboarding flows to financial dashboards, I apply data visualisation and Information Architecture principles to simplify complex systems into clear, usable interfaces.
Code-Conscious
I’m familiar with HTML, CSS, and React, which helps me design with real-world implementation in mind—reducing friction and earning trust from engineering teams.
Fluent in Agile
From daily standups to sprint planning, I thrive in agile environments—sharing work early, iterating fast, and collaborating cross-functionally without hand-holding.
Product-Minded
I don’t just design screens—I solve business problems. I work closely with stakeholders, product and engineering teams to turn goals into intuitive, high-performing user journeys.
