I'm a designer and design leader with two decades of experience owning digital products from strategy through to launch. Over the years I've grown into leading design direction, scaling multidisciplinary teams, and shaping product strategy, while keeping a high bar for craft, scalable design systems, and accessibility across everything we ship. My work spans travel, automotive, energy, media, financial services, and retail, each one sharpening how I balance what users need with what the business is trying to achieve.

I lead from close to the work. I'm just as comfortable setting design direction and growing a team as I am in the detail of a flow or a system, and I move between the two as the work demands. I've found the strongest direction comes from staying connected to the craft, not stepping away from it, and the best teams grow when their lead can still get their hands dirty alongside them. I'm particularly interested in how human judgement and taste work alongside AI to produce more thoughtful, effective outcomes, something I've been exploring in product work since well before it became the industry's focus.

Outside of work, you'll often find me exploring London with a camera in hand. I travel to reset and reframe my thinking, and when it's time to recharge, music, whether techno or classical, is my go-to space for focus and creativity.
