  • Internal systems

    Admin, role-based tooling and back-office workflows.

Career progression

03Case studies

Enterprise web & mobile products

Four operational products, one discipline.

Case studies built to show how I work with complex enterprise domains - claims and policy operations, transaction reconciliation, logistics control and field operations. Some product names and data have been anonymized or represented for confidentiality.

04How I work
  • Stage 01 - Discover

    Sit with the workflow. Interview operators, read the edge cases, map what actually happens.

    • Operator interviews
    • Workflow mapping
    • Journey fragments
    • Observation notes

    Output - As-is map + research log

    IntakeVerifyEscalateReviewSettleClaims workflow · as-is
    • OPS-04

      Escalation is done in a spreadsheet outside the tool.

    • OPS-07

      Reviewers re-check data the system already validated.

    • OPS-11

      Queue order is memorised, not shown.

  • Stage 02 - Define

    Separate the real problem from the requested feature, then agree on what success looks like.

    • Problem framing
    • User needs
    • Constraints
    • Prioritised opportunities

    Output - Problem statement + priority list

  • Stage 03 - Structure

    Information architecture, states, permissions and data density decided before any pixels.

    • Screen hierarchy
    • Task flows
    • Navigation model
    • State coverage

    Output - IA tree + annotated flows

  • Stage 04 - Design

    Interface and interaction design, tested against the hardest screen rather than the easiest.

    • Wireframe to UI
    • Data-dense layouts
    • Interaction states
    • Content and copy

    Output - Production-ready screens

  • Stage 05 - Systemize

    Turn repeated decisions into tokens, components and documented patterns teams can reuse.

    • Design tokens
    • Component variants
    • State matrices
    • Usage documentation

    Output - Component library + guidelines

  • Stage 06 - Refine

    Prototype, review with engineering, tune motion, spacing and copy until it feels intentional.

    • Prototype review
    • Before / after passes
    • Edge cases
    • Engineering handoff

    Output - Validated, shippable interface

Disciplines

  • Product thinking
  • UX architecture
  • UI design
  • Interaction design
  • Design systems
  • Prototyping

I don't just design screens. I build systems that scale.
