Product Designer focused on systems, complex workflows, and shipped outcomes

My work in product design spans the full process, from defining problems and shaping product strategy to designing, prototyping, and shipping solutions. This broad ownership means looking beyond individual features to shape how entire products function.

I like getting into the mess behind the interface: untangling workflows, systems, and business logic to create products that work for both the people using them and the businesses behind them.

My experience is primarily in B2B and enterprise product design at significant scale, with work on a platform used by 25,000+ people worldwide to manage and track 25M+ assets.

SELECTED WORK

Splashed view of Bolster Systems design system

1Standardisation — Foundations for scalable product development

Built and introduced a design system from the ground up to improve consistency, accelerate delivery, and create shared structure across a growing product ecosystem. Worked directly with engineering to ensure implementation feasibility and long-term maintainability.

Showcase of several Bolster Plus screens, including the Costing Dashboard, timesheets, and Pin Options interface.

2Bolster Plus — Enterprise Costing & Operational Platform

Led design across a major multi-part product initiative spanning costing, estimating, timesheets, reporting, and project workflows. Defined flexible system architecture to support highly variable client processes, working closely with engineering and stakeholders to deliver a unified platform for operational and financial visibility.

Overview of the Document Library Design

3Document Library — End-to-end feature ownership

Owned design delivery for a cross-platform feature spanning desktop and mobile. Responsible for UX, UI, and parts of frontend implementation, ensuring the system aligned with both user workflows and internal data structures.

4OSCIL-8R — Interactive desktop music visualiser (personal project)

A fully designed and built Tauri desktop application exploring real-time audio visualisation and generative motion systems. This project combines product design, interaction design, and engineering into a single independent build.

ABOUT ME

How I Work

I focus on understanding the underlying system before designing solutions. That usually means spending more time on structure, constraints, and workflows than on surface-level UI decisions.

I’m comfortable working in environments where:

  • Requirements evolve
  • Systems are partially legacy
  • Multiple stakeholders influence direction
  • Design needs to align closely with engineering reality

My goal is always the same: to turn complexity into something coherent, usable, and scalable.
