The Problem

Finding the right hairstyle and hairstylist is mostly guesswork. People scroll through social media, show up to a salon, and hope the stylist understands their vision. There’s no easy way to visualise a style on your own face before committing — and no reliable platform combining discovery, personalisation, and booking in one place.

The Solution

BladeRoom combines AI-powered hairstyle recommendations with a full booking and marketplace platform. Users scan their face, receive personalised suggestions, then use the TryOn feature to virtually see how any style looks on them before booking.

Two user types, one platform

Regular users discover styles and book appointments. Hairstylists apply to join, get approved, and their interface adapts to reveal management tools — while keeping the familiar core experience intact. Both users share access to wallet, marketplace and product ordering.

Key Design Decisions

Leading with the AI feature

The AI face scan and TryOn is the most unique part of BladeRoom. I designed it as a primary action on the home screen so users immediately understand this isn’t just another booking app.

Permission-based interface upgrade

Instead of a separate app for hairstylists, BladeRoom gives them an interface upgrade once approved. The core feels familiar, but stylist-specific tools appear naturally — reducing confusion and making onboarding seamless.

The Problem

Gaming competitions are fragmented — no unified place to discover tournaments, join teams, or stream live events. There’s also a real accessibility problem: gamers spend hours on screen, but most platforms ignore the visual fatigue this causes, especially for users with color blindness.

The Solution

Gloroq is a desktop platform where anyone can explore live competitions, join or create teams, and switch into a Creator Dashboard to build and manage their own tournaments. The color system was designed specifically to reduce eye fatigue and remain legible for users with color blindness.

Dual dashboard system

Users have a standard audience/gamer dashboard. Creators switch into a separate creator mode with a distinct theme color — making it immediately clear which mode they’re in and preventing confusion between the two experiences.

The Problem

Finding the right expert for a job is stressful — posting flyers, word-of-mouth, and unreliable freelance platforms make it hard for companies and individuals to quickly connect with verified, skilled professionals. The hiring process is slow, uncertain, and lacks a clean user experience.

The Solution

HireWise is a mobile marketplace where hiring companies and individuals browse, filter, and hire experts quickly — with a sleek UI designed to be easy on the eyes even during extended use. The color palette was specifically chosen to minimise visual fatigue while maintaining a premium, trustworthy feel.

Fast payment, zero friction

The payment flow was designed to have as few steps as possible — from selecting an expert to confirming payment in under a minute. No redirects, no confusion.

The Problem

Barbering platforms typically serve one user type — the client. But the reality is more complex: individual clients, independent barbers, and organisations requesting group haircuts all have completely different needs and workflows.

The Solution

UVS solves this with three separate onboarding paths chosen at the very start of sign-up. Once a user selects their type — client, barber, or entity — they enter a completely tailored experience. Nothing overlaps. Each flow is designed specifically for that user’s real needs.

Dark mode design system

UVS was built with a full dark mode design system — not just a colour toggle, but a complete rethink of contrast, depth, and hierarchy for low-light environments. The admin dashboard extends this to desktop scale.

The Project

SkinForge is a focused mobile app concept for gaming avatar customisation. Players explore a library of skins, modify them to their preferences, and purchase directly through a built-in payment system — all within an interface that feels native to the gaming world.

Design Approach

The UI was designed to match the energy of gaming — using high-contrast visuals, bold typography, and rich color to create an immersive browsing experience. Despite being visually dense, the purchase flow was kept minimal and direct.

Profile + ownership

Users have a profile that shows their purchased skins and current avatar — creating a sense of identity and ownership beyond just the shopping experience.
