The Journey
My background is in industrial design, where I worked on physical products and environments. Designing for real-world use taught me to think about human interaction, durability, and how products perform over time.
The Transition
I carried this systems mindset into digital product design, applying the same principles to software. I now design digital products that balance usability, scale, and long-term maintainability.
The Approach
User-centred design grounded in systems thinking and collaboration. I focus on creating solutions that are clear, usable, and able to evolve over time.
Always happy to talk about product, design, and systems.

The Journey
My path into product design began with industrial design, where I learned to think in systems by understanding how components, constraints, and human behaviour interact.
The Transition
Over time I moved into digital products, applying the same systems thinking to platforms where complexity comes from data, workflows, and collaboration between teams.
The Approach
Today I focus on designing products where clarity matters: fintech tools, AI platforms, developer systems, and other environments where decisions and usability have real impact.
Always happy to talk about product, design, and systems.
