Act I / Three films

Projects from the dark

Film 01 / Chapter 1 / Challenge

Tweak & Eat Hub
The challenge

Coaches juggled client plans, targets and reports across scattered screens. Simple tasks took too many steps.

Insight: coaches think in timelines, not tables. The day’s plan is the product.

Film 01 / Chapter 2 / Strategy

Tweak & Eat Hub
The strategy

A persistent client rail so context is never lost. The eat plan as a timeline, the way clients live it. Colour only ever signals status.

Rationale: every extra click is a coach not coaching.

Film 01 / Chapter 3 / Outcome

Tweak & Eat Hub
The outcome

Measured against the goal set in chapter one. Replace the dashed values with your real results.

−X%time to update a plan
Xclicks to review a client
X%task success in testing
Tweak & Eat Hub dashboard: client rail, time-based eat plan and weekly reports
Film 02 / Chapter 1 / Challenge

KES
The challenge

Administrators organised deep hierarchies of subjects, topics and questions. Without structure, finding and editing content was slow and error-prone.

Insight: people navigate by where something lives, not by what it is called.

Film 02 / Chapter 2 / Strategy

KES
The strategy

A tree menu that mirrors the real content structure. A dashboard that answers “what needs attention?” first. One pattern for every table and form.

Rationale: if the navigation is the data model, nobody needs training.

Film 02 / Chapter 3 / Outcome

KES
The outcome

Measured against the goal set in chapter one. Replace the dashed values with your real results.

−X%time to add a question set
Xfewer steps to configure
X%admin satisfaction
KES walkthrough: login, dashboard, tree-menu configuration and question management
Film 03 / Chapter 1 / Challenge

NAVI OS
The challenge

Operations tools feel heavy and corporate. The team needed a workspace people would actually enjoy opening every morning.

Insight: calm is a feature when you live in a tool all day.

Film 03 / Chapter 2 / Strategy

NAVI OS
The strategy

A warm, editorial palette to reduce fatigue. Home shows only what needs action today. Forms reveal roles and permissions progressively.

Rationale: one accent colour, reserved for the primary action.

Film 03 / Chapter 3 / Outcome

NAVI OS
The outcome

Measured against the goal set in chapter one. Replace the dashed values with your real results.

X%daily active use
−X%time to create a user

The work

Why teams hire me

A leader who ships

  • I design it and I can build it

    HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap are part of my daily toolkit, so what I hand over is what ships.

  • A manager who still designs

    I lead UI/UX at PurpleTeal and still work in Figma every day.

  • Complex made plain

    Admin consoles, reports, permissions and workflows organised so new users are never lost.

  • From logo to product

    Brand, website, mobile app and dashboard from one point of view: one consistent experience.

About

Sixteen years, one belief

Great design is born out of simplicity and clarity. I start with the client’s vision, then bring it to life with clear navigation and a visual language that lifts the brand.
