I design productsand I build them.

Six years between Design and Product, most of it in Lending, Insurance, Investments and Trading. Today I ship Production Frontends myself, Design to Deployed, no handoff.

How I Work

Design and Build are the same job when one person does both.

  1. 01

    Frame the Problem

    Start with what the business actually does, and what the person on the other end is trying to finish, before anything gets drawn.

  2. 02

    Design in the Open

    Flows, states and edge cases worked out in the open, close enough to engineering that feasibility is a conversation, not a verdict.

  3. 03

    Build It Myself

    Production frontend written rather than handed over, so the animation and the detail survive the trip from file to browser intact.

  4. 04

    Ship and Improve

    Out to real users, with performance, accessibility and page weight treated as part of the design rather than as a later cleanup.

    About

    Every designer knows the quiet tax of 'that's not feasible right now,' the interaction that dies somewhere between the mockup and the sprint.

    Somewhere in the last year I crossed a line I did not expect to, from designing products to building them. If I can design it, I can build it, because the UX behind the design gets built and polished by the same person who argued for it. Every animation exactly as intended, with the guardrails, performance, page weight and accessibility still respected.

    The two years before that were at RR Donnelley. Presentation design and data visualisation for the senior consultant teams at Boston Consulting Group, the client our team served, then design workflow and project routing across global teams. Work measured in hours, against a standard that did not move.
