About me

I believe the best design is seamless — it solves the right problem with no friction, in the right way, at the right moment. And it feels right too!

I'm a product designer based in London with 10+ years shaping physical and digital products across electronics, fashion, social entrepreneurship and SaaS. I work closely with PMs and engineers — comfortable in 0→1 exploration and scaling mature products alike. My background in Customer Experience and Marketing means I design for users with empathy and evidence, not assumption.

Naturally inquisitive and rarely still, I’m always looking for the next process or flow to refine through daily life. Having lived for extended periods in more than five countries, I continuously question how culture and behaviour shape decisions — and how design can influence both.

My process


Operational strategist specialised in streamlining Product and Design processes. I use Kanban methodologies, communications skills and marketing lens to align cross-functional teams around high-impact user outcomes.

I believe a product is only as effective as the people shaping it. My work centres on adapting systems and ways of working to help colleagues perform at their best and deliver reliable product quality.

Discover

Stakeholder interviews, user research, analytics review. I start by finding the real problem — not the assumed one.

02

Define

Synthesis, opportunity framing, success metrics. I align the team around what we're solving before touching Figma.

03

Design

From rough concepts to high-fidelity prototypes. Iterative, evidence-led, with clear rationale behind every decision.

04

Deliver

Handoff, QA support, and post-launch measurement. I stay close to engineering until the right thing is live.
