App Development

Feb 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 5 mos

I specialise in taking ideas from concept to investor-ready prototype... fast. Whether you have a detailed spec or just a napkin sketch, I bring the research, the strategy, and the design craft to turn it into something real, tested, and fundable. My background spans FinTech, HealthTech, FoodTech, and consumer apps. I've designed earned wage access products for shift workers, NHS-aligned patient triage tools, commission-free food ordering platforms, and community apps that launched to thousands of sign-ups. Every project starts with understanding who the user actually is and what they genuinely need. What you get working with me: research-led thinking, beautiful prototypes, a proper design system you can hand to developers, and honest strategic advice about whether your product decisions are going to hold up under real user scrutiny. Most projects complete in 4–6 weeks. I work with a small number of clients at a time so you get my full attention.
