About me
I’m a digital designer based in Scotland and a proud graduate of BDes Product Design at The Glasgow School of Art. I specialise in product, UI and UX design for the digital world. I believe in user-centered design practices that enable me to deliver meaningful product experiences.
Projects
  • E-commerce gallery and check out
    E-commerce gallery and check outMimo.hue is a personal project of mine for which I create experimental and abstract artworks. The essence of Mimo.hue is to "Let the unexpected happen." I reflect that idea through the creative process and the aesthetics - flowing shapes, colourful gradients, and handmade textures.
  • Modern banking app
    Modern banking appFinancial responsibility is increasingly important among young people to achieve financial independence and stability, so I have designed this UI with young people’s finances in mind.
  • Design toolkit for NHS hospitals
    Design toolkit for NHS hospitalsA patient flow that delivers the best care by the right professional in the right place and time remains a major challenge within the growing complexity of today’s health service. A flawed system impacts patient safety and quality of care. Collaborating with other students, we were given a task to investigate patient flow in an NHS hospital. We were working with NHS staff to find and analyse pain points that produced an overwhelming amount of insights.
