How I work — 04 steps

A process built around getting the structure right early

01

Understand

A short discovery phase — reviewing what exists, talking to a handful of users if possible, and writing down the actual problem in one or two sentences before opening Figma.

02

Structure

Low-fidelity flows for the highest-risk journeys, tested where possible. Structural problems are far cheaper to fix here than after the visual design is done.

03

Design

High-fidelity screens built from a shared set of components, including the edge cases — empty states, errors, loading — not just the happy path.

04

Hand off

An annotated file, a short walkthrough with engineering, and availability during build for the inevitable 'what happens if...' questions.

About

I care about the parts of design that don’t show up in a portfolio shot

The empty states, the loading screens, the moment someone gets stuck. My goal on every project is the same: make the product feel obvious, even when what’s happening underneath isn’t.

Outside of client work, I spend a lot of time picking apart how other products are put together — usually by rebuilding small pieces of them myself.
