Interface Design

Photography

I'm Daniel Handaru,
a full-stack product designer delivering beautifully minimalist digital experiences.

I am a digital native who designs and creates websites, apps and other internet things. I've worked in both corporate and agency environments producing and designing everything from boutique brochure sites and marketing materials, to visual design systems and prototyping, to building full-scale enterprise and multi-country site rollouts. I have 9+ years' experience in building digital solutions helping clients solve problems and create delightful user journeys.

I am at my heart an interface designer who enjoys promoting the allure and impact of minimalist UX design and am attracted to strategy and design within digital transformation projects. Personalisation features and data-driven digital experiences are fascinating to me.

My most recent role has been as UX Project Lead for a digital transformation project at HCF Australia - reimagining their sales website to give the insurance giant a refreshed look and feel, compliant with latest accessibility guidelines and promoting their solutions as a true marketplace for insurance.

I often explore photography to try to understand the world around me, and in the evenings I play in a shoegaze pop band called Grids & Dots. Thanks for coming, I hope you stay awhile.

That's why it is so complicated"

What I do
User interface design

Using the latest industry standard tools in Figma and the latest AI tools to design fully functioning wireframes and pixel perfect prototypes and accessible branded design systems.

Product design

From ideation and user flows, research and usability testing, I provide an end-to-end User Experience foundation. Post release MVP, UX-led A/B testing and data-based iterations are also important steps in the product journey.

Front-end development

Pre-career change, I worked as a front-end programmer on large-scale websites. This allows me the experience to provide pixel-perfect UI and dev translation from UI to production for any digital product.

Experience Lead

Experienced in leading teams to achieve high-end project goals, communicating and workshopping with stakeholders to refine strategy and set realistic targets and to align teams towards specific objectives.

Digital strategy

My experience as a lead has given me the opportunity to work alongside product owners and stakeholders on all-encompassing digital strategy pieces around digital transformation, personalisation & content strategy.

Photography

I take photographs of the scattered, amazing world around me. Portraits, architecture and photo manipulations. From album art to street shoots.
