Arzu C. Phillips

Based in Solihull, UK

I’m a UX/UI Designer curious about what makes people interact with products the way they do, what catches their attention, what keeps them engaged, and what makes an experience feel effortless.

My experience spans AI products, B2B and B2C platforms, SaaS, ed-tech, mobile apps, and AAA PC games. Working across such different products has taught me to approach each problem from its own perspective, whether I’m designing for a business user, a student, a consumer, or a player.

I enjoy getting involved from the early stages of an idea, exploring different possibilities, and finding the details that turn a complex problem into a clear and enjoyable experience.

ACTINS AI

AI-Powered Platform for E-commerce Automation

A tool that helps online sellers automate content creation, optimize products, and manage their stores more efficiently.

Designing for Clarity

Data Visualisation

Pie, bar, and line charts effectively highlight key data points, making it easy for users to navigate and understand the information. These visuals focus on the most significant aspects, allowing for quick scanning and comprehension.

Focusing on What Matters

Content and layouts were simplified to direct users’ attention to the most important actions and information. Visual hierarchy, spacing, and color were used strategically to create focus and reduce cognitive load.

Design System

Scalable

I built a scalable design system from the ground up, creating a consistent foundation of reusable components, styles, and patterns. It helped maintain visual consistency across the product while making new features faster and easier to design, adapt, and develop.

Consistent

A shared icon set and component library keep the interface cohesive as new features and workflows are added.
