About Me

I'm a Product Designer with 11 years of experience having worked across B2C & B2B products, most recently leading experience for SaaS and developer tools.

Specialised in translating complex, abstract systems into clear, usable experiences. I have a track record of establishing design systems & interaction patterns, partnering with founders and stakeholders on roadmaps, and mentoring designers to do their best work. I'm comfortable operating at the intersection of technology, product thinking, systems design, and hands-on craft.

Most of my work has started from a blank canvas. No existing patterns, no established user behaviour, just a problem worth solving. That's where I do my best work.
