Freelance Product Designer / Design Engineer
Independent
- Design and build client web apps and self-directed products end-to-end, covering product design, design systems, and full-stack front-end on React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Supabase.
- Designed and shipped a compliance and staff-records web application for a UK transport operator, covering data modelling, UX, and front-end build on Supabase with row-level security and Edge Functions.
- Built Merita, a private-by-default achievement-tracking and performance-review app, in a 48-hour hackathon (SheBuilds). It covers win logging linked to goals and competency frameworks, AI-assembled review packets with token-gated sharing, and a Promotion Readiness view, and is built on React, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui and Supabase with row-level security and Edge Functions.
- Designed and built Pantressa, a grocery-tracking, meal-planning and budgeting app, owning product design through front-end delivery on React, TypeScript, Tailwind and Supabase.
Front-end Designer
Lunar Energy
- Rebranded and rebuilt the B2B SaaS platform after the Moixa/Lunar Energy merger, when the product no longer reflected the company or brand it belonged to. Took the cross-platform system from 200+ undocumented UI fragments to ~65 documented components spanning Lunar's B2B web platform and B2C React Native mobile app, moving the brand layer (colour, typography, iconography, every affected screen) and the component layer together without stalling feature delivery, and reducing average feature-design time by ~35%.
- Drove design-system adoption to ~80% of engineering within the first product quarter by running component audits, defining a three-tier token architecture (primitive / semantic / component), and pairing directly with engineers in Storybook.
- Cut new-joiner onboarding to the system from 1-2 weeks of tribal knowledge to under a day by treating documentation as a product, with usage rationale, variant guidance, accessibility notes, and anti-patterns.
- Reached WCAG 2.1 AA across all core components, closing a long-standing accessibility gap.
- Built internal tooling with the Figma Plugin API and React/TypeScript, automating component handoff and removing manual design-to-code sync.
- Led UI strategy for role-based operational dashboards whose map view became a centrepiece in stakeholder and sales sessions, driving buy-in for further product scaling.
- Profiled and fixed the rendering bottleneck in that dashboard's map widget, where cluster drawing had become slow, restoring a responsive view over live device data.
Junior Front-end Designer
Lunar Energy
- Owned the UI production lifecycle from discovery and user-journey mapping through high-fidelity assets, edge-case documentation, and micro-interactions.
- Tested the B2B SaaS platform for WCAG compliance and implemented accessibility fixes across core flows.
- Built interactive data visualisations for high-frequency datasets to surface user insight.
- Integrated third-party data APIs in an Agile team, working with backend engineers on real-time, scalable data interfaces.
Front-end Design Intern
Moixa (acquired by Lunar Energy)
- Built a carbon-intensity dashboard integrating third-party APIs to visualise regional emissions data.
- Created a custom iconography set to unify the web app's visual language.

Summary
Freelance product designer with 6 years of end-to-end ownership on complex, data-rich and regulated products, from problem framing and discovery through delivery and iteration. I design dense, data-driven user flows and validate them with product metrics and user research rather than opinion: a global search that cut time-to-task by roughly 75% and reached around 80% adoption in thirty days, and an AI summary layer that reduced chart-explanation support queries by roughly 60%. I take 0-to-1 projects from blank canvas to shipped feature, prototype with AI tools including Claude and Cursor, and present design rationale to senior leadership. Portfolio is real shipped product work.
Payroll is a regulated, data-dense product where a misread screen becomes somebody's pay or somebody's compliance problem, and designing regulated and data-heavy software end-to-end, including a compliance and staff-records application I took from data model to shipped interface, is the through-line of my six years.
