Get to know me

Who I am

What makes me different.

I build User Experiences and Teams.
Both with lots of love.

Over 20 years in digital product development have taught me one thing above all: great UX doesn’t happen by accident. It takes the right structure, the right people, and the right culture.

I partner with companies to build and scale UX capabilities from the ground up. That means hiring and developing high-performance teams across UX Design, UX Research, Content Design, and DesignOps, establishing processes that actually stick, and connecting user needs to business outcomes in a way that leadership understands and acts on. I’ve led teams ranging from small, focused design squads to UX departments of 40 people.

My approach to raising UX maturity in an organisation centres on one principle: visibility. UX work needs to be seen, understood, and valued across the business, not just within the team. That’s the only way it creates lasting impact.

Accessibility is not a checkbox for me. It’s a design principle I’ve embedded into every team I’ve led and every product I’ve shaped.
