About

A designer who likes to build the fix.

I’m Tejus R Meda, a UX designer based in Newcastle upon Tyne. I work at Ultramed, a UK healthcare-software company, where I design the interfaces clinicians and patients rely on before surgery. More and more, I build working prototypes of them myself.

How I work

Spot the real problem, then go make something

My instinct is to find the friction nobody’s named yet and do something about it. QuestFlow started from a single line of frustration, a clinician calling a document the “PDF from hell”. It became a tested, dev-ready tool because I started building over a weekend instead of waiting for a brief.

I care about the unglamorous parts: the workflow behind the screen, the edge case that breaks trust, the wording on a button. In healthcare especially, those details aren’t polish. They’re the difference between software people tolerate and software they actually want to use.

Design + build

Closing the gap between idea and shipped

I’m a designer first, but I’ve learned to build. I use AI-first tools like Claude Code and Cursor to turn concepts into real, interactive products. It means I can test ideas in something people can actually click, hand developers a working reference rather than a static mock, and keep the loop between “what if” and “here it is” tight.

It also keeps me honest. Building something forces the hard questions a Figma file lets you dodge: what happens on failure, on empty, on the thousandth edge case.

Beyond work

And in the gaps

I keep a steady stream of side projects going: small tools I build to learn, like a Schengen day-counter or a recipe companion. They’re where I try ideas that don’t fit the day job, and they’re half the reason I can build as well as design.
