Toyota X AKQA
Rethinking the automotive configuration experience
Over the course of a year, acting as both a hands-on designer and team lead, I steered the project, ensuring alignment with Toyota's brand ethos while emphasizing a user-first approach. The collaborative efforts resulted in a finely-tuned online configurator, setting a new benchmark for intuitive experiences within the automotive industry.

Adidas
Empowering shop floor personnel globally
I was in charge of UX/UI for a series of manuals to be used by Adidas personnel globaly and ensure Adidas stores look consistent with each other. Adidas was so happy with the results that management even twitted about it!

Lexus
Revamping the Lexus Configurator Experience
As Senior Product Designer, I helped redefine how users explore and customise their Lexus online. Collaborating with designers, developers, and product owners, I focused on simplifying complex flows and elevating visual storytelling through a cohesive, premium design system. The result is a modern, intuitive configurator that makes personalising a Lexus effortless while staying true to the brandβs sense of luxury and precision.
