Profile

My approach to design is shaped by a background in architecture. Both fields ask the same question:

How do you make something complex feel simple, coherent, and right for the person using it? That thinking has been with me across every product I've worked on.

Experience

Senior UX Designer

OneID

May 2025 – today, London

  • Drove cost optimisation strategy for verification products, auditing end-to-end verification methods to reduce cost-per-check, improve completion speed, and minimise user friction.

  • Leveraged AI workflows (Figma Make) to accelerate internal design processes and streamline implementation.

UX Designer

OneID

Jan 2022 – Apr 2025, London

  • Led end-to-end design for identity or age verification and digital verified onboarding, used by partners such as NatWest, Docusign and Adobe, driving a 47 % increase in completion rates and 300× growth in weekly completed journeys.

  • Defined UX strategy for a secure data wallet enabling credential reuse, improving user speed and reducing OneID’s cost-per-check for returning users by two thirds.

  • Created user journeys, wireframes, high-fidelity UI and interactive prototypes to validate mobile-first age verification flows using mobile-network data; delivered in 3 months.

  • Conducted mixed-method research (Typeform, PostHog, DataDog, Lyssna) to uncover adoption barriers and inform UX strategy, improving one client’s (B2B2C) uptake by 15%.

  • Built and scaled a Figma-based design system, defining tokens, patterns, and UI components to ensure brand consistency, delivery speed, and accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA).

  • Identified gaps in internal tooling and built a developer documentation portal, internal demo/testing environment, and sales enablement assets, improving client onboarding and supporting product adoption.

  • Partnered with Product, Engineering, and Commercial stakeholders to shape product strategy and lead cross-functional workshops, driving alignment and accelerating decision-making across user, business, and technical priorities.
