A bit about me

A hands-on Product Design leader who gives users a seat at the table. Experienced in forming and scaling multidisciplinary design organisations that turn craft into business advantage, across complex environments.

Starting with a deep understanding of users and their needs, as these form the opportunities to drive real business and commercial outcomes. I stay close to the work, holding the standard on craft and care, and giving teams what they need to do their best work.

I operate at senior leadership levels, partnering with product, technology and commercial to set strategy, build the evidence behind it, and connect it through to execution.
