How I work
My design process starts with understanding the people who will use the product. I combine user research, competitive analysis, and stakeholder interviews to build a clear picture of what the design needs to accomplish. From there, I move through wireframes and prototypes to high-fidelity designs, testing assumptions at each stage.
I believe the best digital experiences come from a deep understanding of both the user's goals and the business's objectives. Every design decision should serve both. I work closely with developers and content strategists to ensure that what gets built matches the design intent and delivers real value.
Design experience
Over the past two decades, I've designed digital experiences for companies across a wide range of industries. This cross-sector experience gives me a unique perspective on how to solve UX problems in different contexts.
- Retail and eCommerce
- Technology and SaaS
- Automotive and industrial manufacturing
- Nonprofits and charitable organizations
- Cosmetics and consumer packaged goods
- Creative and advertising agencies
What I'm focused on
Right now, I'm focused on building accessible, high-performance websites using modern frameworks like Astro and design tools like Figma. I'm particularly interested in how design systems and component-driven architecture can improve both the designer and developer experience while delivering better outcomes for users.
I'm also exploring how AI tools can enhance the UX design process without replacing the human judgment that makes great design possible. The future of UX design is about leveraging technology to move faster while keeping the user at the centre of every decision.
