Founding Designer building The Hungry Type, a Morocco discovery product, and Betterwork, a salary-transparent hiring marketplace.
What I'm looking for
At Atypikal, the independent studio I founded, I bootstrapped the business to 90+ clients and ran engagements end to end. I worked directly with founders and leadership teams on positioning, identity systems, digital work and campaigns.
At Gridwatch, I designed UX strategy, wireframes and interfaces for an energy platform giving US cities real-time control over consumption, spend and alerts. I worked day to day with the client's engineers, then earned the brand and marketing-site mandate after a year on the product.
I built The Hungry Type, a curated restaurant-discovery product and operating system for Morocco, solo from positioning to production code. I chose description over published ratings and designed the product around Explore and Find paths, supported by a four-layer venue model.
I also built Betterwork, a hiring marketplace where every job reveals its salary before someone applies, enforced in the database rather than a guideline. I work across positioning, interaction design, data modelling, permissions and production code because the interface and database decisions are often the same decisions.

Gridwatch is an energy platform giving US cities real-time control over consumption, spend and alerts. I came into a platform already in operation: industry immersion first, then UX strategy, wireframes and UI across operational dashboards, alerting, multi-level reporting and emissions interfaces.
