About
Designing with clarity, systems, and intent
I’m a UX/UI designer based in London with experience designing digital products for audio hardware, companion apps, and interface-heavy experiences. My work focuses on turning complexity into flows, screens, and systems that feel simple to use and easy to trust.
I’m especially interested in product design that sits at the intersection of usability, visual precision, and technical feasibility — from design systems and interaction patterns to research-led improvements and polished final UI.
Previously, I worked on products such as StreamMagic and Melomania Connect, helping shape experiences around playback control, device settings, onboarding, and feature discoverability.
