Precious M.

Welcome to my corner on the web.

I am a Designer with over 10 years of experience who strives to achieve the perfect balance between meeting people's needs and achieving business goals using thoughtful design at every stage of the process, from strategy to product details. As a purposeful systems thinker, I prioritize craftsmanship, and impact.

Currently, I'm making payments, banking and finance simpler than ever at Tamara.

Previously, I worked at big tech companies like Meta and Booking.com, solving important business problems in ecommerce and travel.

During my spare time, I collaborate with founders and startups to bring their innovative ideas to life and providing guidance on improving existing product experiences

When I'm not at my desk, you can usually find me with a camera around my neck, exploring the streets and hidden corners of wherever I happen to be - often in my current city, London.

On this site, you can explore some of my latest creations, experiments, and reflections.

Career

With over a decade of experience in the creative industry, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most prominent names in the business. I have collaborated with renowned companies such as Google, Booking.com, Meta, Planned Parenthood, Helium, and many more, across a broad range of sectors, including healthcare, fintech, travel, social media, and e-commerce.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills across various creative disciplines, from print design and branding to website design and product design.

My diverse experience has given me a unique perspective on design, enabling me to tackle complex problems and deliver innovative solutions through experimentation and deep understanding of customer behaviour and motivations.

Consulting

Outside of work, I aim to collaborate with startup founders and entrepreneurs looking to launch a new product, improve an existing product, or establish a strong design foundation for their product team.

My services include product design, which is ideal for founders looking to launch new ideas. I also offer design audit for existing products to uncover usability issues, potential tweaks and changes to improve overall usability, experience, and visual aesthetics.

Additionally, I offer advising services, which are ideal if you are looking for a more long-term, hands-on service working with your team to help with design within your company; whether it's establishing design standards, systems, or putting together a design team.

Making things for the web

The internet has bestowed upon us an unparalleled freedom to create without seeking permission, a truly remarkable opportunity that is often overlooked. My passion lies in leveraging this opportunity to make useful tools for the web.

I have been honing my skills in the thrilling and dynamic frameworks of React and NextJs so that I can build even more better apps.

I made Basicons, a comprehensive icon library for product design and development. I have also delighted users with  Tictoc, an ingenious web application that enhances focus.

I made  Spacebar, a downloader for recorded Twitter spaces. I also built  Random Naval, a collection of the most profound and thought-provoking quotes by the celebrated Naval Ravikant.

Photography

When I'm not at my desk, you'll rarely find me without my trusty Fujifilm XE4 camera strapped around my neck. Capturing moments of raw emotion and unique perspectives is how I stay creatively fulfilled and express my worldview.

My photography has even earned me the honor of being featured in multiple Unsplash editorials, and my photos have been downloaded over 50,000 times!

It's my pleasure to share my art with the world.

The site is crafted using React, Next.js, TypeScript, with a sprinkle of Ant Design, and hosted on Vercel. Last updated on Oct 16, 2024 at 17:58 GMT by Precious M. Copyright © 2024 Precious M. All rights reserved.
