Search in enterprises is already complex, does experience need to be too?
In ERP systems, search is powerful but often opaque; users don’t see how filters combine, how many results match, or why queries fail. I redesigned the experience to surface query logic (AND/OR), show live result counts, and highlight conflicts in real time. With added options like saving and exporting, the interface gave users clarity and control without extra complexity.
UI Design Research UX Flows ERPEnhancing User Experience in ERP Systems
At my previous role, I worked on improving multiple product features across the platform from researching user behaviours and mapping task flows to designing low-fidelity wireframes that shaped onboarding experiences, feature adoption, and search workflows. My focus was on simplifying complexity, aligning designs with user needs, and creating structured flows that supported both product goals and technical feasibility.

Built the interface using variants, auto layout, and shared styles, then prototyped the flows. A step toward getting sharper at structured, scalable design.
Figma-Based Design System Starter Kit
A foundational UI toolkit created in Figma, inspired by design systems used in production environments. This system includes tokenized spacing, modular typography scales, input primitives, button states, and themable color palettes. Built to explore consistency, reusability, and visual hierarchy within interface design.

UX Audit for a Public Transport App
Conducted a heuristic evaluation of the Nexus POP Metro App (Newcastle), aiming to identify key usability issues across real-time updates, route planning, ticketing, and service alerts. I systematically analyzed each screen using Nielsen’s 10 usability heuristics, flagged UX pain points, and offered actionable recommendations to improve navigation, clarity, and user control.
