About me

I studied forensic science, which sounds like a strange start for a designer, but it taught me something I still use every day: how to look at a situation, separate what matters from what doesn't, and build a clear picture from messy information. That's basically what design is.

During my degree I was already designing things on the side. It started as curiosity, turned into obsession, and eventually became the work I do full time. I didn't take the conventional route into design, and honestly I think that's an advantage. I ask questions a formally trained designer might skip.

I now work as a UX and Product Designer, mostly on SaaS products in fast-moving teams. My day to day involves talking to users, mapping out workflows, prototyping ideas, testing them, and shipping things that actually help people get their work done without friction. I work in Agile setups and care a lot about keeping scope tight and outcomes clear. Low effort for the user, high impact for the business.

Before I touch any screen or component, I always ask three things: Is this necessary? What value does it add? Can this be done better or differently? If the answer to the first question is no, I'd rather kill the idea early than polish something nobody needs.

I believe design should solve problems, not create new ones. Every element on a screen should earn its place, and if it doesn't serve the user or the business, it goes. I don't believe in designer ego or making things look impressive at the cost of being usable. I'd rather ask hard questions early than ship something nobody needs. Good design is honest, it doesn't trick people or hide information. And from the Gita, I carry one idea above everything: focus on the action, not the outcome. Do the work with full intent and let go of needing to be right.

I'm also deeply interested in AI and how it changes the way we design. I use tools like Claude Code in my workflow and think a lot about what it means to design with AI, not just about it. It's not a trend for me, it's how I think the craft moves forward.

Outside of work, I read the Bhagavad Gita and think about its ideas on purpose, action, and detachment from outcome. That philosophy quietly shapes how I approach my work. Do what needs doing, do it well, and don't get attached to being right.

When I'm not designing, I'm probably on a hike, reading something, chasing better coffee, or earning the trust of a neighbourhood cat.
