Hi, I'm Jay, a UI/UX designer with 10+ years of experience building high-converting, user-centred products for web and mobile.
I specialise in Figma and have designed products used by over a million people, across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, blockchain, and proptech. My work blends human-centred design thinking with data-driven UX strategy, and I lean on AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Figma AI, Figma Make, Google AI Studio) to move faster without cutting corners on quality, from research and ideation through to user flows, design systems, and interactive prototypes.
I've worked with early-stage startups building their first product, and established companies untangling years of design debt. Either way, my job is the same: take messy requirements and turn them into clean, scalable design systems that developers can actually build from without guesswork. A few of my projects have gone on to help clients raise pre-seed funding and scale quickly, which tells me the work isn't just good-looking, it's doing its job.
Clients value my product-led thinking, swift turnaround, and clear, open communication. Every project is approached strategically to ensure the design is not only visually appealing but also delivers on performance.
I can start within 24 hours and take you from a rough concept all the way to a polished, fully interactive prototype ready for development handoff.
If you want a product that looks great and performs even better, let's talk.

I am a Top Rated Plus UX/UI designer and qualified Chartered Accountant with 17 years of experience and $300K+ earned on Upwork, specialising in AI-powered products, SaaS platforms, and fintech interfaces.
The CA qualification matters more than it sounds. When I design a fintech dashboard, a credit platform, or a data-heavy SaaS product, I understand the financial logic behind what I am building, not just the visual execution. That combination is rare and it changes the quality of every design decision.
I have designed LLM chat interfaces, AI analytics dashboards, mobile apps, data-heavy fintech tools, and end-to-end SaaS platforms, all built around one principle: complex technology should feel effortless to the person using it.
I also build with AI. I use Claude Code, and Google Stitch in my workflow, which means I iterate faster, explore more directions, and deliver more in less time than a traditional design process allows.
I have shipped a full 52-screen SaaS platform using Claude Code and Cursor, design and implementation, solo.
My process is research first, structure second, visuals third. I audit before I design, wireframe before I polish, and hand off files that developers can build from without asking a single clarifying question.
100% Job Success Score across 55 projects. I do not just deliver screens, I deliver products that work.

I help SaaS, fintech and cybersecurity startups build highโconverting websites and product interfaces. 7+ years in UX/UI and web design (Figma, Webflow, Framer). Enterprise experience: Nasdaq, AssetMark, Miscreants, Orion, and some startups like Mallory, Nebari, Taygo, Mitigrate and Ovoko! ๐
No AIโgenerated โslopโ, no templates, only custom, handโcrafted design.
Every project is built from scratch around your users, goals, and brand, so your site and product feel unique and credible, not generic. I use AI strictly for research and earlyโstage ideation. Your final website or product is never AIโgenerated; itโs a custom, handโcrafted design.
What I do:
โ Endโtoโend website design: landing pages, marketing sites, pricing pages, onboarding flows
โ Product UX/UI: security dashboards, internal tools, user portals, mobileโfirst experiences
โ MVP design to validate ideas and attract investors (clear flows, crisp UI, fast iterations)
โ Redesigns of existing apps/websites to improve conversion, activation, and retention
โ Figma โ Webflow/Framer handoff and implementation (pixelโperfect, responsive, fast)
โ Design systems & UI kits for consistent, scalable product design
How I work:
โข Start with your goals, users, and constraints (timeline, tech stack, brand)
โข Map user flows and key actions (signโup, book demo, purchase) before designing screens
โข Deliver clean, componentโbased Figma files and/or productionโready Webflow/Framer sites
โข Communicate clearly, hit deadlines, and iterate quickly based on feedback and data
Why clients choose me:
โข 7+ years of experience with enterprise (Nasdaq, AssetMark, Orion Innovations, Miscreants) and startups (Mallory, Taygo, Mitigrate, Ovoko)
โข Custom, handโcrafted design, no AIโgenerated layouts, no copyโpasted templates
โข Businessโminded approach: I design to drive signโups, demos, and revenue, not just โpretty screensโ
โข Deep understanding of trustโcritical domains: fintech and cybersecurity, where clarity and credibility are key
Core skills:
โข UX/UI design for SaaS, fintech, and cybersecurity startups
โข Landing pages, marketing sites, and product/security dashboards
โข Wireframing, prototyping, and user flow design
โข Design systems, UI kits, and visual design (typography, color, branding)
Tools:
Figma, Webflow, Framer, Adobe Photoshop, Spline. I may use AI for research and drafts, but final UX/UI and visual design are always custom and humanโcrafted.
Ideal projects:
โข Small company websites (5โ50 employees) that need a modern, credible online presence
โข SaaS websites: landing pages, marketing sites, pricing pages, and onboarding flows
โข B2B SaaS, fintech, and cybersecurity landing pages and marketing sites
โข Startup websites
โข Product and security dashboards, internal tools
โข Redesigns of existing sites to improve conversion and brand perception

Thanks for taking the time to read this. One last thing... there's a reason I have a 100% success score on Upwork. Itโs because Iโm committed to your success and Iโll do unlimited revisions until youโre happy!

I help teams de-risk complex digital products and services before they waste months building the wrong thing.
My work sits at the intersection of UX strategy, product discovery, service design, and evidence-led product improvement. Iโm strongest when the problem is messy: regulated journeys, multi-stakeholder services, unclear user needs, low conversion, high support burden, or a product that technically works but users still struggle to trust or complete.
Selected proof from past work:
โข HMRC / Help to Save โ contributed to a government savings service that reached 100% GDS compliance, won 3 Financial Services Forum Awards, achieved 91% user satisfaction, supported ~450,000 opened accounts, and helped users save ยฃ372.5M.
โข HMRC Identity Verification โ service improvement work associated with a 122% increase in user satisfaction, 72% successful identity verifications, 30โ40% improvement across adoption metrics, and integration into 30+ government services.
โข Chambers and Partners โ UX/content/product work associated with a 7x increase in primary goal conversions, 4.5x increase in secondary goal conversions, 3,000 content items inventoried/restructured, global card sorting with lawyers, and a 5x valuation increase from 2018 to 2023.
โข Veygo by Admiral โ insurance journey improvement associated with a 23% reduction in customer service calls.
โข Healthy Working Wales โ public health/workplace wellbeing service redesign with 86% first-click success and 85% task success.
How I can help:
โข Customer discovery and research planning
โข Interview scripts, synthesis, and go/no-go recommendations
โข UX audits and conversion/friction analysis
โข Service blueprints, journey maps, and opportunity mapping
โข Design-system and product experience strategy
โข Landing-page and proposition validation
โข Regulated/public-sector service improvement
โข Stakeholder workshops and evidence-backed prioritization
Iโm not here to make screens prettier in isolation. I help teams understand what needs to change, why it matters, and what to do next โ then I can support the design direction, experiments, and delivery plan to make that change real.
Good fit projects usually involve SaaS, healthcare, fintech, govtech, public services, insurance, marketplaces, or complex B2B products where trust, completion, accessibility, and measurable outcomes matter.
If you need a senior partner to clarify the problem, validate the opportunity, and turn research into practical product/design decisions, I can help.

Hey ๐ I'm Ollie - a London based Product Designer with 12+ years experience. I've worked with global corporations and agencies through to small scale startups being the founding designer on a project.
The projects I enjoy most are the ones with interesting user problems to solve, where the solution may feel simple but there is depth and detail to the design decision. I'm comfortable working independently and moving quickly once an initial scope has been set. I know Upwork well and pride myself on delivering design projects accurately and on time.
There's a lot of buzz words to describe what I do, but to me - what's most important is that my work has a positive impact on the people that use it. Some of the organisations I've worked with over the years include:
โ BBC
โ M&S Food
โ Discovery+
โ Maplin
โ Vodafone
โ Moneybox
โ Aviva
โ Samsung
