Selected Work

Case studies

Each shaped by real constraints, real users, real deadlines.

Audit Trail · Compliance Platform

Audit trail redesign that cut FDA inspection prep from 3 days to 4 hours

Restructured the investigator workflow around inspection, not data. Result: 18× faster evidence packs and zero spreadsheet exports.

Expertise

Four disciplines,
shaped by practice.

01

Design systems

Built token-based systems from the ground up, primitives, components, the lot, with nothing to start from.

02

Complex workflow UX

Turned paper-based, compliance-heavy processes into validated digital workflows. Audit trails, ALCOA+ traceability, and real usability treated as one problem, not two competing ones.

03

Design that ships

Worked closely with developers and product owners to keep designs grounded in what could actually be built. Flagged complexity early, adapted to constraints before they became blockers, and kept design, product, and engineering aligned through to delivery.

04

Cross-product ownership

Sole designer across four regulated SaaS products at once. Kept each product consistent in behaviour and identity while sharing components across all of them.

About

Web developer turned product designer.

I'm a Senior Product Designer with a background in development. That shapes how I work, I think about constraints, edge cases, and what actually gets built.

For the past five years I've been designing enterprise software for the pharmaceutical industry. The products I work on are compliance-heavy and used by people who can't afford mistakes. My job is to make them clear, reliable, and usable under pressure.

I care about solving real problems, not just making things look good.
