Paper2Sim
AI answers scientists can check
Dense scientific papers become interactive simulations. I put every stage on screen, so researchers can check the answer before they rely on it.

HeartMind
Meditation, minus the noise
A meditation app where experienced practitioners build their own sessions. They asked for less, so I designed less, without streaks or badges.

01
Listen first
Before I open Figma, I talk to the people who will use the product. For Collectivault, my team and I spoke with more than forty fans, collectors, and investing experts; for Paper2Sim, scientists already let down by AI tools. What they tell me becomes the brief.

02
Map every flow
Next, your team and I map every flow, step by step, until we agree on how the product should work. On Collectivault, that meant nine flows, from sign-up to owning a share of an item. Only then do I design a screen, so every screen answers a question we have already settled.

Design in one system
I build every screen from one shared design system, so the product stays consistent as it grows, and engineers can reuse each part. My years in graphic design taught me that the details people barely notice are often the ones that earn their trust.

Test with real people
Real people try the design before engineers build it. I watch where they hesitate, ask why, and change what needs changing. On Paper2Sim, four testing sessions produced five specific changes, and every one went into the final designs.

Hand over with reasons
My files explain what to build and why, so engineers are not left guessing. On HeartMind, developer Michael Phillips wrote that my wireframes and prototypes ‘made it easy for me to understand what we were building and why each design decision mattered’.
