Hands-on at every stage

Research to go-live, I do the actual work — not just the thinking. I stay with a product from first interview to shipped UI, accountable for the outcome.

  1. Step 1

    Discovery & user research

    Interviews, contextual enquiry, synthesis.

  2. Step 2

    Information architecture

    Sitemaps, content structure, user flows.

  3. Step 3

    Wireframing

    Low-fidelity structure and journeys.

  4. Step 4

    Interaction design

    Patterns, states, micro-interactions.

  5. Step 5

    Prototyping

    Clickable prototypes for testing (Axure, Figma, GOV.UK Prototyping Kit).

  6. Step 6

    Usability testing

    Moderated/unmoderated, accessibility (WCAG 2.2).

  7. Step 7

    High-fidelity UI & handoff

    Polished design, specs, developer handoff.

  8. Step 8

    Design system

    Component libraries, design tokens, patterns and documentation — scalable foundations for consistent UI across teams and products.
