I lead and architect intuitive and inspiring digital experiences for a global client base.

Combining business strategy, analytical thinking and tried and tested design methodologies I work alongside a very talented team of product design engineers to deliver results. My role is to demonstrate a clear and creative vision, defining systematic processes and diagnosing crucial opportunities through primary and secondary research. I balance user need with the complexity and pragmatism required to deliver on the client’s organisational goals by assessing and validating specific design concepts and solutions with end-users, peers and stakeholders.

Some of the lovely organisations I have worked for include the Natural History Museum, Sage, NatWest, Open University, 3M and Cornwall Council.

My favourite subjects at school were art and mathematics, which sounds contradictory, but actually, it’s the perfect blend of logic and creativity that informs the art and science of design. Taking my passion for all things creative, I graduated with first class honours in digital media design from Bournemouth University in 2014. Since then I have worked for a number of digital agencies, freelanced for local business to support them in all areas of digital, brand and marketing and now work remotely in Cornwall for a design transformation agency based in Brighton.
