Profile
Hi, I’m Sul — designer by day, maker after hours
I’ve spent my career making services and products usable — most of it in the public sector, where the people who need the service most are the people the design has to work hardest for.
Over a decade of designing products — and I actually love my job.
Lead UX Interaction Designer
Money and Pensions Service, part of GOV.UK. Accessibility isn’t optional here; it’s the point. I lead interaction design across a service used at scale.
Founder-maker behind Sulei
DayDeskr, Loyal Beagle, OpenDS and the rest of the Work index. Small products, designed and shipped by me — my laboratory for the craft I practise by day.
Ask me about the gap between design systems in Figma and the ones that survive production.
01 ·What I’m known for
Four specialisms, no filler
Accessibility & inclusive design
WCAG 2.2 AA as a baseline, not a ceiling — audits, prototypes and the judgement to know what matters.
Design systems
Tokens, components, documentation and governance that survive contact with a real product roadmap.
Interaction design
Flows, states, errors and edge cases — the 90% of a product that ships after the happy path is drawn.
Product engineering
I build what I design — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Nuxt, Directus. Range you can verify, not claim.
