Case Studies

Ten evidence-led capabilities, proven at scale.

Across a 20-year career spanning enterprise SaaS, supply chain, retail, travel and ecommerce, the same discipline repeats: understand before deciding, and measure before declaring success.

AI Playground

Directing AI without losing the craft.

A living practice, not a write-up: composing interfaces from a documented design system by directing Claude, OpenAI Codex and GitHub Copilot, checked against the same rules on every build. Roughly 60% of the mechanical work now falls to AI — I track that ratio deliberately, rather than notice it a year late.

Strategy & Vision

Knowing which mobility ideas to build, and which to leave alone.

Design Ops & Practice Leadership

Running the practice, not just the product.

What Principal means beyond the screens: organising and planning the designers’ work across SCI and DCS, the UX board and its handshake with engineering, a Design QA framework other product teams now use, a Figma standard and a source-of-truth file that feeds the AI workflow, the evidence behind the promotion, and mentoring designers, researchers, QA and writers in five countries.
