Hi, I'm
Barbara Sahok
I untangle complex flows so your users don’t have to.
For the past five years, I’ve been dropped into teams that inherited a tangled internal platform — healthcare dashboards, developer portals, scouting tools — and asked to make it usable. My role sits between UX and frontend: close enough to the code to make the right structural calls, close enough to the users to know which ones are worth making.
How I actually work, step by step
Understand the Problem
Talk to users, align with stakeholders, surface blockers.
Map the Experience
Define flows, key interactions, and real-life use cases.
Design for Reuse
Build accessible, modular components that scale.
Prototype + Validate
Test early, share often, refine with feedback.
Build It Right
Collaborate closely with devs — or jump in and code it myself.
Selected Work
Audits, rebuilds, and a couple of product builds. Each one walks through what was broken and what shipped — not a polished highlight reel.
