About
For the last 13 years I’ve brought a pragmatic, high-craft mindset to design challenges across big tech, finance, non-profit, academia and editorial (to name a few industries). I’ve spent most of my career leveraging my talents across design, research, strategy and leadership. Whether I’m collaborating with a sole trader, start-up or as part of a global corporate, I love to muck in and learn my way through new businesses and their offerings any way I can
I’m a big believer in delivering realistic design solutions, that straddle that line between user-focussed and business-friendly. Working with kind, honest, hard-working folk is where I’m best placed, and are the same qualities I strive to embody in my day-to-day (after a cup of coffee of course).
I like Notion, Milanote, Figma, Framer and front-end coding.
I'm currently available for work so let’s talk.
