I’m a product designer. Most of what I’ve worked on has been the kind of product people don’t choose to use for fun — a wallet, a property portal, a ride booking, an HR system. They use it because they have to, which means the design either gets out of the way or it becomes the problem.

So my work usually starts further back than the screen: what is this person actually trying to finish, what order do they think in, and where does the existing system make them guess. The interface comes out of answering that. I care about structure, naming, states and the parts nobody screenshots — empty views, errors, the second time you use something.

I like working close to engineering. Design that survives contact with a build is the only kind that counts, so I’d rather spend the time on a system that holds together across a team than on one perfect screen. I also write front-end code myself, in React, Next.js and Tailwind, which means I can carry a design system from Figma variables into working components.
