I'm a hands-on Lead Product Designer & Creative Director blending 20+ years of craft with cutting-edge AI engineering to ship solution-driven, user-first products at the speed of thought. I solve complex product problems by merging design strategy with AI-native workflows (v0, Cursor, Gemini, Anti-gravity). I specialise in collapsing the gap between design and production, leveraging the latest AI tools to deploy decision-grade platforms across fintech, banking, energy, and enterprise SaaS. My philosophy is rooted in layout stability, sophisticated typography, craftsmanship and zero design drift.
