What I do

Three places I make the biggest difference

My work lives where products are complex and the data is dense, turning that into something people can read, trust, and act on.

Data & analytics product design

Reports, dashboards, and analytics turned into focused decision tools, so people find answers themselves instead of escalating.

Design systems & accessibility

Reusable, responsive component systems built to WCAG AA, scaling cleanly across markets, languages, and teams.

AI-assisted UX

Production AI features and an AI-augmented process, moving faster from a messy problem to a clear direction, with judgment staying human.

Strengths

Where I’m strongest

I’m at my best when the product is complex, the data is dense, and the experience needs to feel simple, without pretending the problem is simple.

Complex, data-heavy products

Reports, dashboards, and analytics platforms reshaped into tools people can actually decide from.

Design systems & accessibility

Reusable patterns and WCAG AA standards that hold up across markets, languages, and large teams.

End-to-end & 0→1

Research through launch, defining the problem and shipping the solution, sometimes as the only designer.

AI-assisted UX & research

Production AI features and faster research synthesis, bringing stakeholders along without losing rigor.

AI Practices

AI doesn’t replace the designer. It amplifies the thinking.

I’ve integrated AI deliberately into my practice, not as a shortcut, but as a thinking partner that helps me move faster from a messy problem to a clear direction.

Intention first.

Any tool is only as useful as the thinking behind it. I stay in the driver’s seat, using AI to explore and interrogate ideas, but always directing. Design decisions remain human.

Research acceleration.

AI surfaces patterns in user-interview transcripts and synthesises research for alignment. What used to take two days of affinity mapping now takes hours.

The AI Insights tile, live in production.

On Meta’s SOCC LCO platform I designed an AI-powered Insights tile that auto-generates contextual observations from live compliance data, for example, “Vendor 3 non-productive hours are high.” It surfaces what the numbers mean, not just what they are, and was the most-cited feature in post-launch research.

“The Insights tile was the first time a compliance dashboard told me what I needed to do next, not just what was happening.”

Compliance Analyst, Meta SOCC

How I use AI

Research synthesisProcess transcripts, surface themes, and cluster provisional insights for fast team alignment.
Design briefs from specsTurn dense engineering docs into structured, actionable UX briefs the whole team can work from.
Accessibility audit assistFlag likely WCAG issues before manual review, catching them earlier in the cycle.
Assumption stress-testingA partner for questioning assumptions and finding edge cases in user flows.
Dashboard Insights (Meta)The AI Insights tile in Meta LCO, live in production, contextual observations beside raw KPIs.
Stakeholder docsStructured design-rationale docs, decision logs, and handoff specs, faster, without losing depth.

About

I’m a senior product & UX designer who’s at his best turning complex data and technical systems into something people can understand and act on. Over 12+ years I’ve worked across SaaS, healthcare, e-commerce, and enterprise data products, designing for both business goals and real user needs.

I work end to end: research, information architecture, prototyping, and design systems, and care as much about whether a design functions as whether it looks good. Most recently I’ve led UX for the Microsoft and Xbox storefront, and before that spent five years on enterprise products including Meta’s SOCC platform and Microsoft’s reporting tools.
