United Kingdom

Message

At D’ Ark, I’m building a digital business card SaaS platform for UK SMEs, owning product strategy, UX, UI, and front-end delivery. I interviewed 15+ UK business owners and used their findings to shape the MVP.

I designed the web and mobile product in Figma and built a 40+ component design system with reusable patterns and semantic colour tokens. I’m developing it with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and React Native across web, iOS, and Android.

At Infomentum, I led the redesign and front-end delivery of baesystems.com, BAE Systems’ global corporate website. Code refactoring, asset optimisation, and Core Web Vitals work cut load times by 35%, and I applied WCAG 2.1 AA standards across builds.

Earlier, at Devfinity / Qkly, I led a mobile-first redesign of a platform used by 1M+ job seekers, increasing engagement by 30%; user research and usability testing increased satisfaction by 25%. Across my roles, I’ve worked from research and prototypes through production, building accessible, responsive interfaces and reusable design systems.
