about me

I'm a design and product strategist with 10+ years working across complex B2B products, always at the point where user needs and business outcomes have to meet.

I started out as a practitioner: doing the research, designing the flows, running the tests. Over time my work shifted toward the harder, less visible problems: how design teams are structured, how they make decisions and how they build influence in organisations that don't naturally prioritise them.

That's where I do my best work now.

I've worked in-house and in agencies, across companies ranging from early-stage startups to global corporations, in the UK, Australia and Germany. The industries I know best are healthcare, finance, education and mobility, all of them sectors where the stakes are high and the constraints are real.

From my experience, you get senior thinking from someone who's been inside organisations like yours and knows how to navigate them.

I work with a small number of clients at a time in defined engagements with a focused brief.

what I bring

behavioural insight in product decisions

I bring behavioural design thinking into how teams frame problems and evaluate solutions. So decisions become grounded in how people actually think rather than how they're supposed to.

direction before design

Before anything gets designed, I help teams agree on what problem they're actually solving. That sounds obvious. It's rarely done well.

working with complexity

Complex industries, fragmented teams, competing stakeholders: I'm most useful when the situation is genuinely hard and a standard process won't cut it.

making design impact visible

I help teams build the frameworks and ways of working that make design's contribution obviousto the people making product and business decisions.
