Senior Product Designer & Design Engineer:
Bridging the gap between technical logic & human-centred design for high-complexity systems.

With over 10 years of experience and a foundation in Computer Science, I specialise in navigating high-uncertainty environments - particularly internal operations and complex B2C funnels. I don't just design interfaces; I map the logic and workflows that make products actually work. I help teams move from 'what if' to 'how it works' by surfacing technical risks and aligning stakeholders before a single line of code is written.

My Strategic Differentiators

Functional Logic & Technical Discovery

I use low-fidelity, functional prototypes as a shared language between product, business, and engineering.

Surfacing Risks: My prototypes aren't about aesthetics; they are tools to surface data limitations and system risks early in discovery.

Stakeholder Alignment: I articulate the full functionality of a system to gauge investment interest and ensure we are solving the right bottleneck before development begins.

Developer Collaboration: By mapping the logic early, I ensure the solution is technically viable, reducing friction during the handoff from design to code.

Process Transformation & Meaningful AI

I bring deep investigation and systems thinking to "process reinvention." I look beyond the hype of 'chatbotting everything' to find genuine operational wins.

Agentic Workflows: At Vidsy, I reduced a 3-day manual vetting process to 5 minutes by identifying logistical tasks that could be 'agentified' while keeping human expertise in the loop.

Beyond the Chatbot: I identify high-value use cases for AI that automate the 'logistical' heavy lifting, allowing teams to focus on their core craft.

Collaborative Multiplier

I act as the 'bridge' between engineering, product, and brand. I believe my role is to empower the whole team to move faster and with more confidence.

Strategic Alignment: I lead workshops that align stakeholders around business goals—like the strategy that delivered a 20.7% conversion lift for Acamar Films.

Design Systems as a Language: I build scalable design systems that act as a shared language between design and engineering, ensuring consistency and performance across the entire product lifecycle.
