I'm a designer and builder with over 10 years of experience working with some of the best product teams. I started out writing front-end code, then moved into research and UX before ending up leading product design teams. I love being hands-on and getting into the front-end code to push visual polish and fixes where possible. I prototype early and test often. I've built design systems from the ground up for companies like Dropbox and the Met Office. I'm user-centered and will get in front of customers wherever I can to avoid guesswork and get to the correct solution faster.…I'm a designer and builder with over 10 years of experience working with some of the best product teams.
