Resume Say hello
Hi, I'm Thilan.

Designer.Engineer.Problem-solver.

I'm a UX engineer working across UI/UX design, front-end development and business analysis, based in Melbourne.

I turn messy requirements into a direction a team can build: user flows, a design system, and front-end components that make the decisions real. Across marketplaces, care homes, HR tools and SaaS, I've stayed close to both the system and the details.

How I think about design

Good design makes work feel lighter.

01

Requirements before pixels.

Start with the work people need to do and the business rules around it. A clear requirement makes a simple screen possible.

02

Trust lives in the interface.

Show status, show progress, explain what happens next. People trust what they can see.

03

Design it so it can be built.

I design components with their states defined, then help build them. Handover should be a conversation, not a surprise.

Off the clock

A small studio on the side.

Outside client and employed work, I run NovaLink Innovations, building websites, custom software and brands for small businesses. It keeps me close to real customers and real budgets, which makes me a more practical designer.
