I’m a Product Designer based in the UK. Driven by my intrigue in people, culture and sustainability, I have sought to lead a diverse practice throughout my career to date.

Having applied design to a variety of contexts and environments, I am inspired by the tangible value that design can add to the relationships between people, ideas, products and services. In particular, I find solving problems that address data and behaviour infinitely rewarding.
