I’m a Product Designer and Creative Engineer based in Manchester, interested in the space where technology, visual culture and human behaviour meet.
My practice moves between product design, interaction, creative technology and experimentation. I’ve worked on everything from hospitality POS systems and mobile products to AR, hackathons and independent creative projects.
I’m particularly drawn to complex problems: systems with lots of moving parts, unfamiliar interactions or emerging technologies. I like finding the underlying logic, stripping away unnecessary complexity and turning it into something intuitive, distinctive and enjoyable to use.
BUZKO is a civic-tech platform designed to connect Ukrainians and the wider diaspora with verified, skills-based volunteering opportunities in Ukraine. Rather than treating volunteering like a job board, the experience focuses on trust, transparency and informed commitment. Volunteers can explore opportunities before creating a profile, understand how organisations have been verified, discuss the scope of a mission directly, and commit only once expectations are clear on both sides. The project explores how product and service design can reduce friction around volunteering while making the process feel more credible, human and purposeful.
