Principles

My north stars

1.

2.

3.

Design is collaborative.

Great ideas come from working closely with others and staying near the problem.

Design should be

for people.

It should feel calm, clear, and grounded in real needs.

Design should be opinionated.

The best work has a point of view and isn’t afraid to show some character.

Work

Places I've been, things I've seen

Pulse

Senior product designer

A live-streaming platform built for distance-based sports, where the focus was on the map, athlete telemetry, and full control over how you watched. I worked across a bunch of projects, but the standout was designing a web platform that brought together live video, maps, data, and timeline controls in a way that felt intuitive. Since we were first to market, making everything clear and easy to use was a big deal.

Heygo

Product designer

A live-streaming platform where guides host interactive tours for audiences around the world. I owned a wide range of design work across the product, from rapid experiments to core features. A key highlight was designing the app guides use to stream and manage their tours, which helped enable 100 to 300 tours every week. I also drove the creation of a shared design system to help the team move faster and stay consistent.

Dotslash

Junior to Senior UI/UX Designer

As a sole designer at a dev-focused studio, I got to work on everything. Web, mobile apps, even TV apps. I led all the design work across client projects, built design systems, and occasionally jumped into branding too. Learned a ton working closely with developers across industries.

Bash

Senior product designer

Worked across key areas of the platform, contributing to the design system and helping shape new features for our customers. A notable highlight was BashPay, our flexible payments feature, where I designed a seamless checkout experience that now supports multiple payment options. Bash has since become South Africa’s top fashion shopping app, with over 3.8 million downloads and more than 420 million shopping sessions across web and app.
