I'm an independent product design consultant based in the UK. I partner with startups and scaling teams — including YC-backed companies — on product strategy, UX/UI, and building the design foundations needed to scale. Over 14+ years, I've designed products used by 300m+ people across gaming, education, and property. Current and recent engagements include leading the design function at Novus Strategy & Consulting on a UK proptech platform, Lead Product Designer at StudyStream (YC), and Lead Product Designer at Jagex. I typically work with founders and senior leadership on end-to-end journey mapping, product strategy, design systems, and research operations — engagements where design decisions and business decisions are the same conversation.
