Description

I design digital products that feel inevitable, interfaces so clear your users never have to think twice.

After nearly a decade in architecture, I traded floor plans for flows. The shift was smaller than it sounds: both disciplines are about solving complex problems through structure, clarity, and obsessive attention to detail. Now I bring that same rigour to fintech products, design systems, and mobile apps, turning complex requirements into experiences that just work.

Moving people, one pixel at a time.

Currently working with a Cape Town fintech on a suite of personal finance platforms, including full product design and design system build-out. Based in Amsterdam, available for part-time and project-based work.
