15+ years in product design, working across complex interfaces, design systems and product strategy on both web and mobile, for teams that needed to ship faster without cutting corners.

My process is research and strategy first. I work with stakeholders to spot opportunities and shape the product direction before the design work starts. I want to understand the problem fully before I start solving it.

I own the full design scope from early research and UX through to pixel-perfect UI, testing, and handoff. I streamline delivery so teams bring products to market faster. The goal is always experiences that feel simple, fast, and consistent.

Outside of work, I build scale models and paint miniatures, play games, watch basketball and take care of my dog and my aquarium. I like systems whether it's a design system for a product team or the balance of a healthy tank.

Design Systems & Governance
I build design languages that scale component libraries, governance models, and documentation that keep teams consistent and shipping without constant oversight.

Platform & 0-to-1 Product Design
I take products from blank canvas to launch defining the problem, validating with users and designing experiences that hold up in production.

Cross-functional Leadership
I work across design, engineering and product to close the alignment gap not manage it. Shared language and clear decisions move faster than handoffs.

Strategic Product Thinking
I connect business goals to user needs and shape the roadmap around what actually moves the product forward not just what's easiest to prioritize.

Team Mentorship & Design Ops
I grow designers through structured critique and feedback and build the processes that make good work repeatable not accidental.

Accessibility Standards
I design for everyone by default. WCAG AA is the floor, not the goa, accessibility is baked into decisions, not added at QA.

Data-informed Design Decisions
I use qualitative research and quantitative signals together not to confirm assumptions, but to challenge them and design with confidence.

Research & Synthesis
I run discovery, interviews and usability tests, then turn messy findings into clear insights the whole team can act on not just a slide deck nobody reads.

Component Architecture
I structure design systems around atomic, composable components clear variants, logical naming and consistent states that scale without breaking.

Design Tokens & Theming
I define and maintain the token layer colour, spacing, typography, radius and motion values that connect design decisions directly to code, making theming and rebrand work a config change, not a redesign.
