Portfolio

About

I’m a UX / Service designer with a background in product design and a master’s in User Experience Engineering. My design approach starts with research — listening carefully, spotting patterns, and understanding the existing problems and what’s getting in people’s way — and then shaping that into clear flows, practical prototypes and services. Having studied both physical products and digital systems, I naturally think about how things work end-to-end, not just how they look on a screen. I’m early in my career, but I’m thoughtful, detail-oriented, and motivated to keep improving within a collaborative team.

Contract

Summary

Focused on creating a framework to catalogue and manage intellectual property (IP) assets, improving how internal teams discover and document IP.

Highlights

Designed an end-to-end internal service enabling employees across engineering, legal, and commercial teams to identify, document, and surface intellectual property — addressing a process that had no shared structure before the engagement.

Mapped cross-departmental journeys and service blueprints that surfaced critical misalignments in workflow ownership, terminology, and accountability, giving the organization a clear picture of where IP was being lost.

Designed an AI-assisted chatbot flow and interactive questionnaire to guide non-legal staff through complex IP documentation step by step, significantly reducing cognitive load and reliance on specialist support.
