How I work, and on what

I work across three main areas, which often overlap. Whatever the starting point, the focus is always the same: design decisions that improve the product in a measurable way.

UX Research & Discovery

Understanding users before building

Research without a plan to act on it is expensive documentation. I run structured discovery: interviews, usability testing, surveys, tree testing, with the explicit goal of informing decisions, not producing reports.

When to use it

When you're about to redesign a key flow, validate assumptions before development, or enter a market you don't fully understand yet.

What you get

Research report with prioritised insights, actionable recommendations, and documentation ready for the product team.

Typical duration

2–4 weeks

Formats

  • Fixed-scope project
  • Single day / workshop

IA & Interaction Design

Structure and coherence for growing products

Fast-growing products accumulate inconsistencies. I work on the parts that are hardest to fix later: information architecture, interaction patterns, design systems. The goal is a product that scales without losing coherence.

When to use it

When the product has outgrown its original structure, or when you're building something new and want to do it right from the start.

What you get

IA audit, new navigation architecture, tested wireframes and prototypes, design system contribution with documentation.

Typical duration

4–10 weeks

Design Leadership & Advisory

A senior design partner, without the overhead

Some teams need a design lead but not a full-time hire. I work as an embedded IC, present in the room with engineers and stakeholders, without management layers. I help teams make faster decisions, raise the quality bar, and develop more autonomy over time.

When to use it

When a product team lacks internal design leadership, or needs external perspective on complex decisions.

What you get

Defined design process, more autonomous team, faster decisions. Regular or on-demand presence depending on your needs.

Typical duration

Ongoing (retainer) or single days
