I'm Hanru Wehmeyer, UX Designer in Scotland who starts by asking “Why does it have to work like that?”
Selected work
Last Active Filtering: a hidden definition, now admin-controlled
Shows how I tested a hunch about the real problem instead of speccing from it, replacing a fixed system with one admins define themselves.
AI Feature Toggles: the feature I stopped us overbuilding
Shows how I managed cross-functional stakeholder feedback, stepped up to cover PM responsibilities while navigating ambiguity, and used systems thinking to avoid overbuilding a solution.
Memor: challenging conventional calendars with fluidity and tone of voice
Shows how I applied human-centred, 0-to-1 conceptual thinking to challenge convention through fluid visuals and tone of voice.

When Hanru interviewed for the role, he was one of more than 600 applicants. The shortlist came down to a group of very strong designers, and what made Hanru stand out was the depth of his thinking and his creativity… He also showed real originality, bringing design and art together in a way that felt distinctive but still right for the brief.
Head of UX
Hanru holds the title of Junior UX Designer, but there is nothing junior about him… He is always anchored to the right questions: what problem are we actually solving, and what is the simplest way to solve it for the user? The result is work I can only describe as having a kind of simple elegance.
Product Manager
He is endlessly curious, never hesitating to ask questions and always ensuring that every angle has been explored. He makes experimentation look effortless, embracing a wide range of AI tools to strengthen his UX process, accelerate prototyping and explore new approaches to creating effective interview guides and surveys.
