I’ve supported startups to raise over eight figures in funding, designed products with over a million global users each year, and helped teams streamline workflows to cut design and development time and cost.
Headed up Design for the UK’s most comprehensive tender portal, serving 80,000+ weekly users, transforming a legacy interface into a premium dashboard while preserving SEO performance through improved UX, consistent URL structure, and clear on-page hierarchy.
Sole Product Designer for Libertum, shaping the full v1 experience of a multi-functional web3 platform for tokenised real-world assets. Built a scalable design system, designed an investor-grade dashboard, and supported engineering to streamline development, contributing to $2.4M+ in funding and strong early traction.
