Projects
  • Coffe app
    Coffe appI embarked on a project to design a high-fidelity prototype for a coffee shop order display. The challenge was to create a seamless, intuitive, and engaging mobile experience that allows users to easily order their favourite coffee and accompanying products. This project spanned the entire UX process, from conducting a competitive analysis to developing the information architecture and ultimately designing the UI.
  • Life Multiservice Ltd
    Life Multiservice LtdThis project was a fulfilling journey that went beyond just creating a website. It was about crafting a digital voice that resonated with Life Multiservice Ltd’s brand and clientele. The client needed a platform that captured the essence of their brand: luxury, exclusivity, and impeccable service. From the initial brief to the final handoff, every step was a collaborative effort that resulted in a platform resonating with the client’s voice.
  • Kubernetes
    KubernetesThis case study takes you through the UX design journey of creating a Kubernetes desktop application with a single goal in mind: making life easier for software developers. As the sole UX/UI designer on the project, I worked hand-in-hand with a developer client who wanted to elevate the application's interface and data visualisation. Together, we set out to design a tool that not only looked great but also made managing Kubernetes clusters more intuitive and efficient.
