Design leadership with business fluency.

With 18+ years of human-centered design leadership, I've operated at the intersection of design craft and business strategy — from individual contributor to leading teams of 9 across enterprise and startup environments.

My work spans consumer financial products, luxury travel, B2B supply chain platforms, and SaaS. I bring the same rigour to a 0→1 startup product as I do to a redesign serving millions of users.

I lead with research, data, and deep collaboration — partnering with product, engineering, and leadership to ship outcomes that matter. I believe the best design disappears into the experience.

My Process

Research-led, outcomes-obsessed. Every engagement follows a clear north star: measurable impact.

01
Discover

Deep user research, stakeholder alignment, and competitive landscape analysis. Understanding the problem before designing the solution.

02
Define

Synthesise insights into clear problem statements, user journeys, and measurable success metrics that align design with business goals.

03
Design

Rapid iteration from low-fi concepts to high-fidelity prototypes. Design systems thinking baked in from day one — not retrofitted.

04
Deliver

Usability testing, developer handoff, and post-launch measurement. The work isn't done until the metrics confirm the outcome.

Graphics & Illustration

Design thinking doesn't stop at interfaces. I bring the same intentionality to visual communication, illustration, and brand work.
