A bit about me

With over a decade in the design industry, I’m passionate about creating functional, human-centred products that keep users front and centre. I see myself as the voice of the user, guiding teams and stakeholders through the process of building meaningful, intuitive experiences. I’m comfortable challenging assumptions when business goals start to outweigh user needs, always steering the conversation back to what’s best for the people who use the product.

I’ve led small teams, mentored designers, and helped build UX capability within client organisations across sectors, from large-scale digital transformation and product growth to green tech innovation. In recent years, I’ve partnered with government agencies and arms-length organisations to deliver inclusive, user-focused services.

Outside of work, you’ll find me climbing, camping, or exploring the wilderness with my partner and our dog, or hosting friends around the pizza oven on a summer evening. Approachable, easy-going, and endlessly curious, I bring that same energy into every project I take on.
