If you need an experienced illustrator/designer for the following, I'd love to work with you! ⁘ ART DIRECTION FOR PICTUREBOOKS — so you have a script and want to publish a children's book but don't know where to start?

I have had 5 children's books published in the past few years, for which I designed both the illustrations and the final book layouts for printing, and countless others for which I have created layouts. I love drawing stylized animals and environments—even though I am equally excited to challenge myself to illustrate different things. Being a self-taught illustrator freelancing for over a decade, I have grown to have a high attention to detail. I've worked in-office for a children's publishing house and welfare organization, where I was the head graphic designer and illustrator.

Most SaaS and healthcare products fail not because of bad engineering, but because of confusing interfaces that users abandon. I fix that. I'm a UX/UI designer specialising in SaaS dashboards and healthcare apps — with 50+ completed projects, 2,200+ hours, a 100% Job Success Score, and a 4.8★ rating from 69 clients on Upwork. 🎯 Where I deliver the most value: • SaaS dashboard design — data-heavy interfaces that are clear, scannable, and action-oriented • Healthcare app UX/UI — patient portals, clinical workflows, EHR interfaces, and health tracking apps designed with HIPAA-sensitivity and accessibility in mind • Mobile app design (iOS & Android) — native and cross-platform • Responsive web design — landing pages, marketing sites, product pages • Wireframing, user flows & interactive prototyping in Figma • Design systems & component libraries built for dev handoff 🛠 How I work: I don't open Figma until I understand your users. For SaaS products, I map the core workflows first so your dashboard reduces cognitive load, not adds to it. For healthcare, I design with compliance, clarity, and accessibility as non-negotiables, not afterthoughts. Every deliverable is dev-ready: annotated specs, organised component libraries, and clean Figma files your engineers can actually build from. 🌍 UK-based, working with startups, scale-ups, and digital health companies across the US, Europe, and beyond. Deadline-driven. Clear communicator. Zero surprises. If you're building a SaaS product or healthcare app and need a designer who understands the complexity, let's talk.
