Designing and building products that people understand, value and adopt

Designing and building products that people understand, value and adopt

I help startups, public sector organisations, healthcare companies and charities decide what to build, design it so people adopt it and build the skills their teams need to keep improving it. From problem definition and research through to strategy, design, prototyping and delivery.

About

Design leader, builder & strategist

My name is Ruksana. I design and build products that solve complex problems, from healthcare and the public sector to financial services, often building zero-to-one products and AI products. I've worked across consultancies and startups, including TPXimpact, McKinsey/QuantumBlack and early-stage AI companies.


Before moving into industry, I studied Design Engineering at Imperial College London, graduating top of my MEng year with the Governors’ Award.


Outside work, I write about intentional AI usage and human behaviour through The Human Layer on Substack. I also enjoy yoga, running and barre.

Example Services

Built an something that no one is using?

Behaviour-Led Adoption

Use behavioural psychology and real usage data to find out why people are not adopting your product, and design the changes that build trust, habit and loyalty.

Behaviour-Led Adoption

Don’t know who your customers are, or what to build next?

Opportunity and Product Research

We use customer evidence and commercial research to show you which opportunities deserve investment, which need testing first and which to stop.

Opportunity and Product Research

Is a complex process costing you time, money or trust?

Complex Workflow Redesign

We map how the work really happens, then redesign it so teams finish faster, with fewer hand-offs and fewer avoidable errors.

Complex Workflow Redesign

AI-made screens that don’t look like your brand?

Design Systems for AI

AI tools can create screens and journeys in minutes, but each one can come out slightly different. We turn your brand into clear rules that people and AI tools both follow, so everything feels like one company.

Design Systems for AI

Designers and engineers speaking different languages?

Upskilling for Designers to Engineers

We coach designers and teams on their own projects, covering design, how things get built and how to use AI well, so they grow in confidence and ship more themselves.
