Brands and products I have worked with

Work

Selected work.

Four projects told from context to outcome: the problem, the design decisions and what changed for the people who use them.

All case studies and the project archive

I have spent the last few years on products that run other companies’ operations: processes, energy, networks and finance. In these products, a confusing screen turns into a support ticket and rework for the team. That is why I design for the whole system and deliver in code, so what was approved in Figma reaches users unchanged.

How I work

One component, from Figma to production.

  1. 01Design

    In Figma, with tokens and variants. Every measurement has a name before it becomes code.

  2. 02Code

    I code the component with the same tokens. The layer name in Figma is the class name in the CSS.

  3. 03Production

    Accessibility review, tests and deploy. What was approved in design is what users get.

What I do

From discovery to deploy.

I take part in every stage of the product, so a design decision doesn’t get lost between Figma and code.

Product design

Research, flows and prototypes

Interviews, flow maps, clickable prototypes and usability testing before the first line of code.

Design system

Tokens and components

A system that design and engineering use the same way, with documentation for both teams.

Front-end

HTML, SCSS and JavaScript

I deliver working screens, with states, responsive layouts and dark mode. I also work with Vue.

Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA

A minimum contrast of 4.5:1, visible focus, keyboard navigation and ARIA in complex flows.

DesignOps

Process and metrics

Usability metrics, design OKRs and handoff documented in the team’s user stories.

AI in the product

Interfaces for AI, and AI in my workflow

I design assistants and copilots that query real business data, and I use AI every day for research, prototyping and code.

By the numbers
