From dentistry to UX: a clinical eye for clearer experiences.

01 Lessons from providing clinical care

I trained as a dentist and later completed a postgraduate degree in orthodontics. But somewhere along the way, I realised that the kind of help I wanted to offer extended beyond treatment plans and procedures.

Working as a clinician taught me to listen carefully, break unfamiliar information into simple terms, build trust and make precise decisions under pressure. It also made me realise how complexity can overwhelm when someone is already feeling uncertain or vulnerable.

02 My design lens

These experiences have shaped how I approach UX design. I pay close attention to cognitive load, information hierarchy and the moments when people hesitate or do not know what to do next.

I use research and thoughtful interaction design to turn complex information into clearer, more accessible experiences—without losing the context people need to make informed decisions.
