I'm a designer who believes in the art and science of product and design thinking. I enjoy identifying, shaping and exploring the problems most affecting users and strive for a methodical, test-driven approach. This process combines creative skills to analyse and develop solutions from UX processes to fully spec'd, high fidelity design and beyond. Although all projects require upfront critical thinking, I aspire to take a learn-by-doing approach.

Working as a front-end engineer for five years on production strength code, I gained valuable knowledge and experience. From enabling me to work closely with technical teams to writing code for prototypes or exploring new technical opportunities and solutions, I use these skills daily. Solving problems when gaps occur, I also create design tooling, work on both sides of design systems and contribute to open-source projects.

As a practitioner based in design but also doing development, I enjoy communicating across what is often felt as a divide. I believe in empowering everyone with technical and creative ideas. Strong collaboration means bringing communication out of others, being optimistic and listening actively. I also host workshops and facilitate sessions to explore and align the teams I work with. I learn a lot from being a mentor to others and speaking at events sharing my passion, knowledge and experience.
