About

Complex products shouldn't feel complex. I find where people get stuck, design the system that fixes it, and build the components myself so nothing gets lost in handoff.

Problems

Most products don't fail at the idea. They fail in the details.

The big features usually work. What costs people is the small stuff nobody owns: a confusing step, a missing state, a button that looks disabled.

Hidden[01]

Friction
hides in
the flow

People drop off at steps nobody watched closely, and nobody notices until the numbers move.

Drift[02]

Design and
code drift
apart

What ships rarely matches what was designed, because intent gets lost between the file and the build.

Inconsistent[03]

Every screen
reinvents
the button

Without a system, each team solves the same problem differently and the product starts to feel stitched together.

Excluded[04]

Some people
can't get
through

Low contrast, tiny targets and unlabelled fields quietly lock people out of the product.

FLAG 03Empty state never designedFirst-time users land on a blank dashboard with no next step.
Introduction

Most of my work starts the same way: a product that does a lot, and people who can't find their way through it.

Illustrative user flow. Not client data.

How I work

Observe. Flag. Build. Learn.

I fit into how a team already works instead of replacing it: watch closely, speak up when something's in the way, then make the change and measure it.

[01] Research · analytics · usability tests

Session recordings, funnels and a handful of usability tests show where people hesitate, backtrack or leave.

[02] UX & accessibility audits
WCAG 2.5.8Target too small

Every issue gets a reason, a standard where one applies, and a priority, so the team can decide quickly what to fix first.

[03] Design systems · vibe coding

Components start in Figma and end as working, code-based UI, generated and refined from design prompts so the intent isn't lost in handoff.
