About

Product designer, 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.

Opportunity and Product Research

Most teams have more ideas than budget. We use customer evidence and commercial value to show you which opportunities deserve investment, which need testing first and which to stop, before any resources are committed.

Design Systems for AI

Teams now use AI tools to create screens, pages and customer journeys in minutes. The risk is that each one comes out slightly different, with the wrong colours, mismatched buttons or a flow that feels like a different company. We turn your brand and your way of designing into clear rules that both people and AI tools follow, so everything stays consistent as you move faster.

Upskilling for Designers to Engineers

Tools and ways of working are changing quickly, and many people are unsure which skills to build next. We help individuals and teams grow in confidence through practical coaching on their own projects, covering design, how things get built and how to use AI well. People leave with new skills they can use straight away, not just a course certificate.

Complex Workflow Redesign

In high-stakes work, every extra step and hand-off adds time and risk. We map how the work really happens, then redesign it so teams finish faster, with fewer hand-offs and fewer avoidable errors, whether the process is clinical, operational or decision-heavy.
