ImpactAIQ, an AI-powered impact measurement platform for events and destinations.

I’m the product designer behind it, from the product model and flows to the design system. I also designed the AI experience: how it reads evidence, suggests and explains, and how people review and approve its work. Launched at IMEX America in Las Vegas on 13 October; I’m now designing phase three.

Testimonials

Kind words from clients, managers and teammates I’ve designed with.

01 / 04

“You are a GOAT Designer. Your work has impressed everyone at my desk. Your name is hot property amongst my colleagues. When clients rejected every other design, your very first iteration won them over. It completely turned things around and saved the project. Your clarity and precision makes you a true professional.”
Jahin KarimEngagement Manager at Capgemini

02 / 04

“I have never had a designer that has been able to not only meet all deadlines but have such quality work from the first iteration. Your ability to take my notes and get correct edits created quickly will surely be missed. I have also never worked with a designer that has gotten so many compliments from our customers. You truly deliver outstanding work.”
Jasoon WebdaleSolution Architect / US Army Veteran

03 / 04

“He is reliable, easy to work with and understands what is needed without much explanation. Very valuable designer. The best thing about him is, he always provides different options with their drawbacks and benefits. That makes decision making so much easier.”
Karanveer ChouhanFounder of A-Sonne

04 / 04

“I’m honestly a big fan of your work. You have that rare ability to understand client needs without much friction. Every time you shared your concepts, it just clicked right away. Truly top notch.”
Augustine WongProduct Manager

Got questions?

I’m always happy to talk about my process in more detail, so feel free to reach out.

01/How do you use AI in your design work?

AI makes me fast; my job is to make it right. I use it to synthesise research, explore options and build. I move the design system into code so AI generates screens that match it, then prototype and ship with Claude Code, MCPs and custom skills I write for my own workflow. Every output still goes through my judgment on what to keep and what to cut.

02/Can you work directly in code?

Yes. I hand over working UI, not just files: design systems as tokens and components, working prototypes and production-ready front-end. In my current role that covers 60–70% of the front-end work before it reaches developers, which frees them for the hard engineering.

03/What is your typical project timeline?

The timeline for a project typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the scope and complexity. After an initial consultation, I’ll provide a detailed timeline with key milestones so you know what to expect at each stage.

04/What industries have you worked in?

E-commerce, social media, job platforms, SaaS web, entertainment, education and AI-powered applications.

05/Do you provide UX research as well?

Absolutely! I conduct user interviews, usability testing, and competitor research & analysis to ensure solutions are backed by data.

06/How do you handle revisions and feedback?

Revisions and feedback are a crucial part of the process. I typically offer a set number of revision rounds to refine the design based on your input. I ensure clear communication throughout, so your vision is brought to life effectively.

07/How do you collaborate with developers or stakeholders?

I believe in transparent and continuous communication. Instead of a one-time handoff, I share progress early, involve devs in discussions, and align on feasibility. With stakeholders, I convert UX insights into business-friendly language so everyone is on the same page.

08/Are you open to full-time roles?

Absolutely! I am open to remote full-time opportunities in UX/Product Design.
