A named surface
We pick the screen that is costing support time and finish that before starting another.

On an engagement
What you get besides the screens.
The work page is the record. The engagement is the weeks around it.Notes the next person can use
Decisions are written down so a new engineer is not reconstructing them from git.
A date to stop
Each piece of work has an end, not an open retainer that drifts.
The person behind the commits.
A clear point of contact for product engineering, interface systems, and handoff.

Projects
Work measured by what changed.
01
Clinic scheduling board
A dense day view that still works on a reception laptop with a small screen.
02
Token pass for a design system
Colour, type, and spacing moved out of one-off CSS and into a shared package.
03
Climate startup launch week
Empty states, form errors, and a homepage that survived the first traffic spike.

Background
I ship calm, maintainable interfaces
I work with product teams on web applications where clarity matters more than novelty. My recent work spans design systems, API-backed dashboards, and performance-minded marketing sites.

How I help
Ways to collaborate
Interface rebuilds
Replace a tired product screen without pausing the rest of the release.
Open conversationDesign-system adoption
Move an existing app onto tokens your team can extend after I leave.
Open conversationLaunch hardening
The week before a public launch: states, empty views, and the bugs users hit first.
Open conversationHandover notes
A short written trail so the next engineer is not guessing why a component exists.
Open conversation“Ananya took the billing screen from a sketch to something support stopped apologising for.”
