How I work
From early ideas to prototypes, I focus on making services clear and usable.
Interaction design
I turn user needs and complex requirements into clear, practical journeys.
Prototyping
I build interactive prototypes, including with the GOV.UK Prototype Kit, to explore ideas and test them with users.
Interface design
I develop visual designs from wireframes into consistent, implementation-ready interfaces.
Accessibility
I design with accessibility in mind, using WCAG and government service standards to guide decisions.
Wireframing
I use sketches and wireframes to explore layouts and make ideas easier to discuss.
Design systems
I use and develop reusable patterns and components to support consistent services.
