Selected case studies in user-centred design

By placing users at the centre of the design process, I ensure their needs and experiences are well understood. This leads to informed, accessible, and impactful design decisions. These case studies show how I’ve helped purpose-led organisations turn insight into action through a blend of discovery, strategy, and hands-on design.
