Senior UX Designer @ Rakuten Advertising

Making complex products easy to use, especially where decisions matter most.

I specialise in turning data-heavy, high-stakes workflows into interfaces that are easy to understand and quick to act on. In practice, this means helping users move from “what am I looking at?” to “I know exactly what to do next” without training, friction, or guesswork.

A little about me

I'm a Senior UX Designer currently working at Rakuten Advertising, with 8+ years' experience designing enterprise tools used by advertisers, analysts, and account teams.

My approach prioritises outcome, resulting in fewer support tickets, faster workflows, and happier, more decisive users.

What colleagues say

Tom hugely contributed to our project's on-time release — always available for questions, demos, and meetings when needed. His early involvement in design reviews meant issues were caught before QA, saving significant time. He also helped triage bug tickets, offering clear UX perspective on severity and priority right up to release day. I hear great feedback about Tom from development and QA teams — he's been a delight to work with.

I just wanted to acknowledge the work you've done taking the initiative to redesign a core feature for scalability, and coordinating across teams to leverage that into new capabilities. Keep up the great work!
