I take products from discovery and prototype all the way to production, designing them to be both beautiful and actually usable. Two of my apps are live on Google Play.

Hi! My name is George. My friends call me Jott, and you can too. I'm a Senior Product Designer and UX/UI Lead with 18 years of experience designing enterprise and consumer digital products.
I combine UX research, product strategy, design systems, accessibility, and front-end development with AI-assisted workflows to take products from discovery and prototype through production. My path started in Computer Science, so I'm as comfortable in an engineering standup as in a design critique.
At SpinifexIT I led a UX overhaul that improved task completion by 85% and built a Material design system that cut design-to-development handoff time by 40%. At DXC Technology, a redesign cut support calls by 60%. Today I lead product design, accessibility, and web architecture across a multi-brand ecosystem serving 8,500 active investors.
03 / What I do
Turning complex business requirements into clear product direction, roadmaps, and user journeys that teams can build.
Interviews, contextual inquiry, usability and A/B testing, and analytics to ground every decision in real behavior.
Component libraries, design tokens, and WCAG 2.1 AA standards that keep multi-brand products consistent and inclusive.
Production-quality front-end in React, Vue, Tailwind, WordPress, and PWAs. I implement the interfaces I design.
Claude Code, Cursor, and AI Studio workflows that shrink iteration cycles from weeks to days, from prototype to release.
Design governance, critique, mentoring, and cross-functional partnership with product, engineering, and QA.
