Story

I work in the messy middle, the stage where a half-formed idea has to become something real.

Lead UI/UX Designer with 5+ years of experience. As Lead, Product Experience & Design at Bevolve, a B2B SaaS company, I ship design, prototype and front-end code together.

With AI, building an interface has become the easy part. The hard part is the experience: understanding who the users are, what they are trying to get done, and making a complex product feel simple for them. That is the work I have spent the last five years getting good at.

At Bevolve, we build tools for carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and environmental compliance. In this space a confusing screen becomes a wrong number in someone's report, so I spend as much time with product managers, researchers, and engineers on the problem as I do on the pixels.

We work in agile sprints, and my process follows that rhythm: define requirements early, review in small iterations, and keep design and engineering moving without waiting on each other. I stay involved from the first requirement to the last detail in the build, because that is where products are won or lost.

Accessibility is part of the brief from day one. WCAG is my baseline on every interface I touch, not a checklist at the end.

AI is also why I work a step ahead of a typical design handoff. With Claude Code, Codex, Figma Make, and Lovable I ship UX together with a working prototype and front-end code, so we test real interactions early, solve problems faster, and hand engineering something that already runs. I validate through usability testing and feedback, so the decisions I present are ones I can defend. I also design and build production websites end to end, often from idea to live without a separate developer.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Start with the user, because every decision should solve a real problem. Keep it simple: if something feels complicated, there is usually a better way. Prototype early and often, because the best ideas get tested before they get built. Build systems that scale, with consistency, speed, and room for creativity.

How AI changed my process

From static mockups to working prototypes, before engineering ever touches it.

01

Requirement

Write the PRD and define the problem with product and research.

02

Research

Validate the problem is real before designing a solution to it.

03

Prompt the prototype

Build a working front end with Claude Code or Codex, not a static mockup.

04

Review and test

Self-review, stakeholder review, and real usability feedback.

05

Handoff

Push to GitHub, so engineering fine-tunes a working build instead of a mockup.

The old way meant a day or more per 10 to 20 static screens, then a round of back-and-forth once engineering discovered what didn't translate. Prototyping in code compresses that into hours, and what ships is already a working front end, not a picture of one.
