What I do.
Product and UX,
with AI
Research, user flows and high fidelity prototypes in Figma. I took punch.ninja to a live product with 10+ clients in its first month, and I design AI systems like products, for a client and in my own work.
Packaging and
structure
Boxes and print products taken from brief to production: the structures, the dielines and the files. A video card cover that wraps the whole screen module, and a box line for a client that runs on one die.
Print and
embellishment
Foil, raised varnish, soft touch and die cuts, planned with the press operator. I designed embellished print and packaging for the NFL, Netflix, Deloitte and USA TODAY. Work I designed, directed or mentored won 7 awards at the 2026 FSEA Gold Leaf Awards (2 Gold, 2 Silver, 3 Bronze).
Brand and
systems
A brand book of colour, type and spacing rules a team can follow, and Figma libraries built on tokens. I directed the bigDAWGS brand revamp, and its rules became the tokens of the website redesign.
