About
About
I’m a product designer with 10+ years across startups, agencies, and in-house teams.
I’m self-taught, with a degree in politics. I didn’t come into design through a traditional route, which is why I tend to think in terms of systems, incentives, and how product decisions compound over time.
I specialise in designing for complexity and scale: data-heavy platforms, internal tools, and decision-critical products that need to be shipped, extended, and maintained by real teams.
Structure comes first. Accessibility is baked in. Constraints are treated as part of the design rather than something to work around later.
I work end-to-end as an individual contributor. Usually embedded with engineering. Often the sole designer. Accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.
