Now

Work

I'm currently working as a Senior Product Designer at Caplin Systems, where I design FX trading interfaces for major banking clients. Right now I'm particularly focused on developing new commodities trading features and maintaining our design system that connects Figma to our React components.

The work is challenging and rewarding - designing for financial professionals in high-stakes environments requires precision and deep understanding of complex workflows.

Projects

I'm rebuilding this website from scratch using Next.js and a custom design system. It's been a fun exercise in creating something minimal but functional, and a good excuse to experiment with new CSS techniques.

I'm also tinkering with a photography portfolio site and exploring some ideas around interactive data visualizations for personal finance tracking.

Learning

• Diving deeper into advanced TypeScript patterns and React Server Components
• Experimenting with 3D printing - currently printing custom motorcycle parts
• Reading about financial markets to better understand the domain I'm designing for
• Improving my photography skills, particularly street and architectural photography around London

Life in London

After five years in London, I'm still discovering new corners of the city. These days I'm spending a lot of time exploring different neighbourhoods on my motorcycle, finding new coffee shops and photography spots.

I've been getting more involved in the local design community, attending meetups and occasionally giving talks about design systems and fintech UX.
