How I can help

I enjoy helping companies be the best they can be through great design and awesome user experiences. Here are a few ways I can help you.

• Design systems

  I have worked on multiple design systems that drive measurable impact.

  I specialise in creating systems that promote consistency, efficiency, and scalability across your organisation.

  Find me on LinkedIn to chat about how I can help with design system reviews and consultancy.

• Figma UI libraries

  With my Figma experience, I can build and maintain comprehensive Figma UI libraries that align designers and developers.

  Code is where the rubber hits the road. I specialise in creating developer friendly libraries, enabling speedier handovers and opening the way for AI-enabled technologies.

• Prototyping

  I can help turn your ideas into reality. Within a short time, I can create artefacts that you can test and learn from.

  From low-fidelity wireframes to more polished high-fidelity prototypes, or even coded proof of concepts. I can help you build and test your ideas.

  I can also advise on the latest UX trends and emerging technologies, including how AI can complement your user experience.

• User research

  Without research, you are guessing.

  I can help organise and run research projects, identifying real and immediate opportunities that will make a difference to your company, service or product.

  I can host sessions and create resources that help bring stories to life and excite your whole product team.

• Usability testing

  I can help organise and run usability tests on your experiences to ensure you are solving the right problems in the right way.

  Testing helps you get meaningful feedback and insights that will further improve your service or application.

• Accessibility

  I've been an advocate of accessibility in web design for over 20 years. Although it's always better to perform accessibility audits with people who use assistive technologies, I can perform a quick audit to give you an overview.

  I can also help teams with strategies to resolve accessibility issues early in your design & development processes.
