Tools & Capabilities

The tools I use to design, research, validate, and build.

Figma

UI Design Prototyping Design Systems

My primary design environment — from first wireframe to developer handoff. I build scalable component libraries, interactive prototypes for usability testing, and responsive layouts across web and mobile.

  • High-fidelity UI for web & mobile
  • Interactive prototypes for usability testing
  • Design systems & component libraries
  • Annotated developer handoffs

Figma Make

AI Prototyping Rapid Iteration

I use Figma Make to generate working UI code directly from frames — letting stakeholders experience real interactions instead of static mockups. It shortens the feedback loop dramatically during early exploration.

  • AI-generated code from design frames
  • Realistic prototypes for stakeholder reviews
  • Validating interactions & micro-animations
  • Bridging design and development

Cursor AI

AI Coding Prototyping Portfolio

Used to build this portfolio. Cursor lets me translate Figma designs into responsive HTML and CSS through natural language, allowing me to own the full design-to-delivery cycle without deep engineering experience.

  • Built this portfolio from design to code
  • Responsive layouts directly in the browser
  • Faster design-developer collaboration
  • No-code-to-code design handoffs

ChatGPT

Research Competitive Analysis Heuristic Evaluation

My research accelerator and thinking partner. I use it to synthesise competitive landscapes, cross-reference heuristic findings, develop personas, and distil patterns from qualitative interview data.

  • Competitive landscape synthesis
  • Heuristic evaluation (Nielsen's 10)
  • Persona development & scenario writing
  • Qualitative data synthesis

Microsoft Copilot

A/B Testing Validation Research

Supports my validation workflow — processing A/B test results, summarising user feedback at scale, and documenting heuristic findings. Integrated into Microsoft 365, it keeps research insights flowing into presentations and reports.

  • A/B test analysis & interpretation
  • Heuristic evaluation documentation
  • User feedback synthesis
  • Research report & presentation drafting

Claude

Design Thinking Content Strategy UX Writing

My go-to thinking partner for nuanced design challenges. I use Claude to pressure-test ideas, refine UX copy, structure case study narratives, and explore edge cases — it brings a depth of reasoning that sharpens both my thinking and my deliverables.

  • UX writing & microcopy refinement
  • Case study structuring & narrative clarity
  • Design critique & edge case exploration
  • Brainstorming & concept pressure-testing
