Designing at scale, across industries
I have created impactful digital experiences for the world's leading brands by blending AI, design, and technology.
Digital Product Designer
I play various roles to design digital products that solve problems and drive business value — from zero-to-one concepts to scaled systems used by millions.
About
Designing functional, elegant digital products for 14+ years. Applying agile and lean UX methods to craft user-centric solutions. Passionate about solving real problems and creating exceptional experiences.

Co-creating strategies, shaping new product ideas and roadmaps that align user needs with business goals.
Understanding users through qual and quant methods — their context, needs, and mental models.
Crafting the right things with a seamless and enjoyable experience, from flows to pixel-perfect UI.
Fostering a culture of design excellence, creating collaborations, and developing rigorous design processes.

Project case studies
Pfizer's R&D team needed a way to cut through mountains of biomedical literature. I designed an AI interface that turns research queries into insights — with intelligent data visualisation at its core.

A welcome talk for the DTox Design Talks series — exploring how designers can anticipate the future by reading the past. The talk introduced futurecasting as a design practice, then applied it live through two worked examples: the evolution of the shopping mall from prehistoric gathering ground to intelligent Nourishment Centre, and the 5,500-year-old shoe reimagined as a nanobot-powered adaptive garment.
The central provocation: designing for the future means getting inspired by the past, extrapolating forward, and then bringing those possibilities back to the present — turning speculation into actionable design directions.

Worked examples
A three-week lecture series for Communication Design and Industrial Design students — introducing Systems Thinking, Futurecasting, and Human-Centred Design as an integrated practice. The course challenged students to move beyond designing individual artefacts and instead engage with the complex, interconnected systems that shape the problems they are solving.
The central provocation: changing one part of a system changes everything. By developing the ability to see patterns, structures, and mental models, designers can anticipate unintended consequences and create interventions that are durable — not just clever.
