About

Owns UI architecture, accessibility governance, and cross-product design system infrastructure. I am a design leader specialising in scalable UI architecture, operational accessibility and enterprise design capability across complex product ecosystems. Hands-on design leadership and team development Currently leading UI Design for BigFix at HCLSoftware, I built and lead a distributed team of 10 designers. I mentor, guide and set direction, while remaining deeply hands-on in design strategy, systems and delivery. My role combines organisational design leadership with direct responsibility for how products are structured, governed and implemented. I own UI architecture, accessibility standards and design system governance across a multi-platform environment spanning SaaS, on-prem, desktop and mobile. The focus is not just improving interfaces, but transforming how organisations design and deliver digital products by building structures that make quality, consistency and accessibility sustainable at scale. I build systems rather than isolated solutions. Patterns, frameworks and processes are designed to operate across products, teams and platforms, reducing engineering friction and embedding accessibility directly into delivery workflows. Accessibility leadership A core focus of my work is organisational accessibility transformation. I designed and delivered a structured accessibility capability programme that combines education, applied implementation and continuous improvement. Multidisciplinary teams integrate accessibility into everyday decision-making, rather than treating it as compliance. Hundreds of professionals across design, engineering, QA, and product disciplines have completed the programme, improving accessibility maturity, product compliance and delivery quality. Learning is aligned with product roadmaps and implementation cycles, making accessibility operational rather than theoretical. Cross-product design systems and governance Alongside accessibility, I established cross-product design system and UI governance frameworks that standardise interaction patterns, improve consistency and accelerate delivery, while embedding accessibility upstream, reducing downstream defects and enabling teams to design and build with confidence. How I work My approach combines strategic systems thinking with hands-on design leadership. I define standards, lead design direction, mentor designers, collaborate closely with engineering and product leadership and take full responsibility for design readiness entering development.
