I'm UX Designer and UI Designer specialising in Digital Product Design
I have a diverse background in digital communications and design. Human-centered design seems to be the right descriptioin for what I do. On a daily basis I work in product design, UI design, UX design and online marketing.
I've got your bottom line.
I care deeply about creating high-quality beautiful experiences that connect with your customers and meet your business goals. I specialise in the visual design of digital products, websites and software. In addition, I have hands on working experience in UX design, UX research and digital marketing.
20 years in digital design and creative communications.
When you work with me you’ll benefit from more than 20 years of design, business and digital marketing experience. Having owned a design agency and e-commerce business has sharpened my business acumen and has taught me a lot about what it takes to start a project from scratch and ship it.
Where I work now.
Currently, I work at one of South Africa’s biggest banks as lead UI Designer. This has given me a fresh perspective of what it takes to design products at scale. Furthermore, working in a big organisation has honed my ability to foster relationships with stakeholders and kindle collaboration between product, engineering and design teams while mentoring young up and coming design talent.
My philosophy.
To build successful products, websites, digital marketing campaigns and software I believe it takes empathy for the people, the right mix of marketing thinking and design mastery combined with a team that has the right attitudes and mindsets. Moreover, I also firmly believe that design decisions must be driven by customer research and data. You first have to figure out if you’re designing the right thing and that you’re solving the right problem. Only when you’re certain you’re designing the right thing – then you need to design it right.
I design beautiful experiences.
I understand that great design results in great customer experiences. Great experiences makes for happier customers. Happy customers means your business makes more money. Return on investment is what it’s all about. Let me help you build a better business.
