UI/UX Design
Design
Systems
Design systems are vital when maintaining a product or platform. I use an “Atomic Design” method in spirit, where small individual items (atoms) are built into various configurations to make up components (molecules), which are then used as the building blocks for layouts and full page structures. It’s worth acknowledging that Design Systems evolve over time, with the goal to re-use components as much as possible.
User Interface Design
My approach to user interface design is always putting the user first; it should be visually appealing to make them want to use it, but more than anything it should function as a means for them to achieve their desired task with as little friction as possible.

User
Experience
Design
I’m a strong believer in iterative design and putting the user’s needs first. It is very rare to achieve the perfect user experience on first try, so being able to iterate on a design, reduce friction, all based on user feedback, will always net best results.
Website Design
Remember when ‘Web Designer’ was a job title? With website design, I aim to keep pages clean and legible, mixing up the layout of each section to stop the page from feeling repetitive.
