Product designer turning complex technical systems into clear, usable digital experiences.

I combine technical understanding with UX research, prototyping, and product thinking to design practical digital experiences.

About

I design digital products where technical complexity meets human needs.

My background in IT support, mobile computing, and HCI helps me understand both user pain points and technical constraints. I use research, prototyping, and structured design methods to turn unclear problems into usable product experiences.

Process

A clear UX process from diagnosis to handoff.

A practical process for turning unclear product problems into testable design decisions.

01

Product diagnosis

I clarify the product goal, constraints, target users, and key usability risks before moving into solutions.

02

User research

I use interviews, desk research, and usability signals to understand user needs and decision points.

03

AI-assisted synthesis

I use AI to structure research notes, cluster findings, and speed up early synthesis.

04

Journey mapping

I map the current experience to identify friction, gaps, and opportunities across the user flow.

05

Usability testing

I test prototypes with users to validate assumptions and improve interaction clarity.

06

Handoff

I prepare flows, UI states, and implementation notes so designs can move into development.
