When is the design ever finished?

Senior Product Designer. I do the research, draw the thing, write the system and build the front-end — rarely in that order. Seven years of it, from ecommerce to wealth management.

Seven years in, currently Senior Product Designer at DFYNE — where I started the UX practice from nothing and hired the ten people who now run it.

Selected work
01 — The venture

Cardconomy

A UK trading card marketplace: 92 screens, a design system enforced in code rather than written down. Then one conversation with a shop owner took the go-to-market apart.

02 — DFYNE

Mega menu

Rebuilt so the catalogue stopped hiding from the people trying to buy it — on desktop and on a phone, where the old menu buried whole categories two taps down.

Search

Suggestions that arrive before you have finished typing, and an empty state that does something useful rather than waiting.

Quick add

Size selection lifted out of the product page, so a full kit can go in the basket from the grid without ever leaving it.

Athlete styles

Real athletes’ kit made shoppable as a set — homepage through to product page. Every shop-the-look pattern I audited forces the whole outfit as one unit, which collapses the moment an item is out of stock or you are a different size on top and bottom. This one sizes each item on its own.

06 — Personal

MyTCG

A collection tracker, built because I wanted one and none of them were any good.
