London • Self-employed in the UK • Freelance / Contract / Fractional
I help founders and product teams untangle complex journeys, align stakeholders and ship interfaces people can actually complete. My background spans Candosa, Silverbird, Vivid Money and Alfa-Bank, with a strong mix of product thinking, research and hands-on delivery.
Background across
Independent offer
High-friction onboarding, complex B2B dashboards, feature discovery, design systems, research-backed iteration and founder-level product thinking.
I plug into existing product and engineering teams quickly, work visibly, test early and stay pragmatic about scope, delivery and metrics.
Project-based delivery, fractional design support, short product sprints, design QA and workshops for teams that need momentum fast.
Services
My portfolio leans heavily into fintech and product complexity, but the underlying value is the same: make important flows easier to understand, easier to ship and easier to improve.
Onboarding, KYC/KYB, dashboard flows, account states, permissions and other areas where users, compliance and delivery constraints collide.
Usability testing, discovery, qualitative interviews and structured iteration to reduce guesswork and improve decision confidence.
UI libraries, reusable components, delivery-ready flows and design QA that helps teams ship cleaner work without endless rework.
Team workshops, portfolio reviews, growth coaching for designers and practical advisory for product teams that want sharper process and better product judgment.
Selected work
Rebuilt an outdated multi-step onboarding experience, ran usability research with 10 relevant respondents, iterated with stakeholders and developers, and launched a flow that outperformed the old version in A/B rollout.
Turned direct user feedback into a high-impact investment feature that now accounts for 15% of all stock and crypto transactions on the platform.
Combined quantitative analysis, qualitative interviews and product logic to simplify menu structure, improve findability and increase traffic to commercially important services.
Approach
Align on user friction, business pressure, technical realities and success metrics.
Use lean flows and focused research before committing expensive engineering effort.
Work closely with engineers so the solution is strong in practice, not only in Figma.
Launch, inspect outcomes, simplify again and keep improving what matters.
Speaking and mentoring
The public portfolio also includes talks, jury work, portfolio reviews and hands-on teaching sessions for designers and product teams.
Includes a public lecture at the University of Central Lancashire, conference talks and research-focused discussions.
