My superpowers

Fascination with people

I love talking to users, listening to their stories with empathy, and get a huge amount of joy from being surprised by their behaviour.

Openness & curiosity

I am a truly open and curious person. I enjoy learning and do my best work when faced with new or novel subjects.

Lean to the core

My mind is constantly scanning for shortcuts and fast methods of approaching problems. I love planning lean research.

Love of storytelling

I love telling stories that engage with people, light them up inside and truly reach into the core of who they are.

Early work

With a background in Industrial Design, I have designed connected products and helped craft thoughtful products and experiences extending beyond the screen.

In spare time

Outside of work, I love exploring new places then taking photos of beautiful scenery and moments that spark my curiosity.
