I do not Stress my team! If they are loaded, I only talk not, I write and design.

Attaining the role of Head or a Managerial position does not equate to merely speaking in isolation or relying on AI tools to lead or manage tasks on platforms like Jira. True innovation lies in supporting the team by actively contributing, especially during periods of heavy workload — this embodies true leadership.

Modern day designers, many often rely on the web and templates ( hardly they create, but simply fetch ), making them unable to create unique designs when faced with challenging user requirements. This dependence on copy-paste has limited their creativity. Hence, the ideal would be to make efforts to create your own design, even thought the process may be repeatedly done and tedious. Verily, I say unto you, this continuous re-production will enable you to create your own masterpiece and a world of your own beauty.

It's my strong conviction that designers should possess coding knowledge. Proficiency in Angular and React, for example, facilitates smoother collaboration between design and development teams, ultimately benefiting the company.

At its core, design relies on geometry, the arrangement of elements. It's this geometric composition that shapes how a design's inherent nature is uniquely perceived.



Having worked in overseas for 3 years in Digital agencies, I've been managing teams, providing consultancy and designing Virtual Reality Applications, developing UI/UX for Desktop applications, web, mobile, IPTV ( HTML5 Air Mouse code with Jscript ) for both, local & International clients; my UI assimilation's have got listed in many international magazines.

What’s more, I do code and comprehend Angular, React, PHP. When the team is loaded, I take part with them to release their stress. I belive talking and assigning tasks alone leads no where in Heading teams.



As Head of UI/UX the process I profess!

In today's world, we encounter a real mix of projects. Some crop up requiring a rather swift turnaround, whilst others are more meticulously planned. As a result, the team's typically kept quite busy. Currently, as Head of UI/UX, I've developed my own methods for questioning clients and documenting their requirements.

Whether it's an urgent need or a more structured project, I always record my discussions with the client and then pass this information on to the team. This allows them to get a proper handle on things as they move into the design process, following the creation of wireframes by the team, which is where I'll be working closely with both the team and the Business Analyst.

For me, it's crucial that the BA is involved with the process and integrated within the team. This ensures we're all on the same page and have a shared understanding. So, in essence, I categorise projects upon receipt using these two approaches:


"Rapid Launch Mode: Speed Meets Smart UX"

(For fast-paced projects with streamlined intake forms and quick team handoff)

It makes no difference to me whether the project is required at a rapid pace — I always begin by attaching myself to the Jira ID. Without it, the project falls into disarray, leading to numerous complications and no clear tracking of Bitbucket commits. In Brief I enumerate. If want to know how please you may call me!

I am both a designer and a developer, which enables me to lead by example and offer the team an ideal form of leadership. When the team is under pressure or facing a heavy workload, I readily join them in the trenches. I believe in supporting, not burdening — I never impose unnecessary stress on my team.

"Deep Dive Strategy: Building Big with Insight"

(For large-scale projects that need detailed discovery and client consultation)

I always begin with my own approach to questioning — it starts with the Business Analyst and a thorough round of user research. I engage in detailed discussions with the client, including competitor analysis. Based on this, the team and I move into the UX design phase.

During this stage, we create the user flow and develop user personas using a structured questionnaire I provide. We conduct multiple brainstorming sessions, often starting with sketching ideas collaboratively.

I firmly believe that no design should begin without wireframes — they capture the essentials and prevent key elements from being overlooked. Once wireframes are solidified, we proceed to the design phase. I also step in hands-on whenever necessary to guide the process.

From there, the full project flow continues seamlessly.


I question the client to fully understand the brief (Curious how I do it? Give me a call.)

Arrange a team meeting

I Select the most suitable UI/UX Engineer based on the project’s needs

I Oversee the design creation & present it to the client

Assign a UI/UX Engineer to HTML/CSS (Div Code) - Responsive!

I Personally review the code to ensure it matches the original design

Commit the UI branch to the development team via Bitbucket

Present the test version URL to the client

Conduct a final check across mobile devices & code quality

I Deliver the final presentation to the client along with the team


You know what? I teach my designers Angular & React.js — even those with no prior coding experience. My method of assimilation is unique! And today, I'm proud to say that all my designers are happy coders too.

The process outlined above offers but a brief glimpse. Should you wish to know how I manage it all — do feel free to give me a ring. And thus, this is the way I revolve.

My Design to Code Video - all Hand Crafted!


"From Europe to the U.S, I as Head of UI/UX humbly have led the design & front-end development of Medical and Telecommunication platforms — all hand-coded with precision using frameworks like Angular + Electron, React, and even pure React.js admin systems. I’ve also brought immersive XR/VR projects to life across Europe.

As Head of UI/UX, I give Presentations to Clients (Speak British English), & I manage international teams with clarity. I don’t just direct & talk — I support, step in when needed, and make sure every project runs smoothly without stressing the team. Leadership, balance, & quality — that’s what I bring to every project."


A thought: Modern day designers and coders rely heavily on downloaded resources. In contrast, developers of the past diligently wrote code from scratch, and designers laboured to elevate their standards. I maintain that those earlier practitioners still possess a unique power and innovative spirit. Modern professionals, however, are becoming somewhat dulled, mistakenly believing including knowledge makes application easy. If you check their Background, It's some still Images they use! Lacking their own Creativity!

What thinkest thou thy future shall be, if thou castest out thy creativity and merely generate and include? This a Kid could do too!

Nay—ponder, create, and let thyself be unique!
