User Problems:
🔻Staff were avoiding the original internal dashboard entirely and working out of external spreadsheets instead.
🔻The interface was slow, cluttered, and forced users to zoom out in the browser to use the old dashboard interface.
Impact
🏢 Introduced UX research and Design Thinking practices to the organization.
🧠 Replaced spreadsheet workarounds with a centralized, modern system.
⭐ 4.7 / 5 user satisfaction at beta launch.
📈 Higher adoption, improved workflow efficiency, and better remote collaboration during the pandemic.
Result: I redesigned it end-to-end and turned it into a tool they actually rely on and could use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Designed a dashboard concept for tracking net worth across every asset type — stocks, crypto, property, pensions, funds, cash, and liabilities — all in one place.
Instead of the usual pie chart or bar graph, the centerpiece is a dial: a single, glanceable gauge showing where your wealth actually sits. Behind it, a quiet grid of every asset category fades in and out of visibility, reinforcing that everything's accounted for even when it's not the focus.
Dark UI, a single confident green accent, and a lot of negative space — built to make a genuinely overwhelming task (seeing your entire financial picture at once) feel calm instead of cluttered.
wow the animation feels super smooth, what is this animation for?
Working on the homepage for Still Blooming, a wedding and floral studio, I explored two different layout directions for the hero section. Same brand, same copy, just a different structure and visual rhythm.
Option 1 : Left Aligned. Text sits on the left with supporting content beside it, giving an editorial, asymmetrical feel.
Option 2 : Centered. Everything is stacked and centered, giving a clean, balanced, more classic hero layout.
Would love your honest UX/UI take which direction feels more elegant, functional, and true to a wedding/floral brand, and why?

Great Design :)
Some designers are obsessed with removing friction. Usually, they’re wrong.
When it comes to high stakes fintech "invisible" is a bug, not a feature.
We designed the Tithe onboarding with a mandatory slide to confirm. One second of friction to ensure a lifetime of trust.
Don't just make it fast but rather feel right.
The slide-to-confirm is a nice touch. For financial decisions, that extra moment of intention makes sense.
