Background

I’m a seasoned UX and Product Designer driven by curiosity and motivated by the prospect of creating and delivering stunning experiences and visual design to solve real world problems.


I have extensive experience leading design projects across the entire product lifecycle, from research through to pixel-perfect visuals. 






Along the way, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with companies such as John Lewis, Lloyds Bank, Ford and HSBC.
