Bulk materials HMI
Industrial · HMI · EUDust, gloves, and glare — operators were overriding alarms they couldn't parse. We rebuilt the alarm hierarchy and touch targets around the plant floor, not the office demo.
( Work )
Work that has to work.
Most clients build safety-critical or regulated systems, so NDAs keep the logos off. Instead we show the problem, what we changed, and the results they verified.

/ The problem
Metal-detection HMIs used on food production lines worldwide. Every screen looked different, operators worked gloved under time pressure, and training a new operator took 3 weeks.
/ What we did
Rebuilt the interface around the operator's actual tasks: one consistent screen model, glove-sized targets, plain-language alarms, and a design system engineering could apply across the whole product line.
/ The result
−85%Operator training time
Training a new operator went from 3 weeks to 2 days, verified by the client across production sites.
( How we ran it )
01
On the factory floor first: watched operators work gloved, in noise, before drawing a single screen.
02
Prototyped on the real hardware, tested with real operators, iterated weekly with engineering in the room.
03
Handed over tokens, specs, and a component library the team still ships from today.

Names withheld at client request. Every problem and outcome is real and client-verified — ask us on a call and we'll walk you through the full decks.Patient support platform
Healthcare · Web · UKResearch-first redesign of intake and follow-up workflows. During testing, a nurse completed a patient intake in under 90 seconds.
Energy management control room
Industrial · HMI · UKOperators juggled six monitoring tools across four screens. We consolidated them into one exception-first operator view built for long shifts and low light.
Autonomous haulage fleet UI
Industrial · HMI · AURemote supervision of a driverless mining fleet. One supervisor, dozens of vehicles: the interface surfaces only what needs a human decision.
Clinical dashboard suite
Healthcare · Web · EUWard-level overview for shift handover, designed on the ward with the nurses who use it, so the next shift starts informed instead of guessing.
No screens shareableMedical device companion app
Regulated · Mobile · EUPatient-facing app for a Class II device — every flow designed inside the regulatory constraints, documented for the audit trail, and still usable by an anxious first-time patient.
No screens shareableDesign system for field devices
Industrial · Design system · InternationalTokens, components, and specs for a family of rugged field devices — one system engineering applies everywhere, from a 4-inch panel to a control room wall.
No screens shareableOffshore financial platform suite
Financial services · Web · Gibraltar/UKRetirement and wealth platforms for an offshore financial services group: advisor dashboards and a real-time tracker serving international advisors around the clock. A relationship now in its 14th+ year.
Heavy machinery telematics
Industrial · Mobile · InternationalTelematics for heavy machinery in the field: fleet state, faults, and location on a phone — readable in a cab, in glare, on a muddy site.
( Why anonymised? )
When your clients build safety-critical systems, NDAs come with the territory. We'd rather show you 9 real problems without logos than three logos without substance.
On an intro call we can walk you through full case decks under a mutual NDA, and connect you with references who'll verify the outcomes directly.
