About Me

With over 8 years of industry experience, including 5+ years designing enterprise SaaS and on-premises software. Backed by a strong QA background, I bring a detail-oriented, systems-level mindset to UX, ensuring designs are not only intuitive and scalable, but also technically sound and implementation-ready.

I specialise in user research, interaction design, information architecture, design systems and workflow optimisation, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support product strategy and deliver high-quality UX/UI solutions.
