I'm a Senior Product Designer and Design Lead with over 20 years of experience designing and leading complex digital products across enterprise and B2B environments in EMEA. Repeatedly engaged by global organisations to lead high-stakes product initiatives at moments of scale, transformation, or delivery risk. I own end-to-end design decisions, align user needs with business goals, and enable engineering teams to ship faster through clear systems, strategy, and direction. In my design workflow I use AI to accelerate user research and validate ideas early, which helps keep projects on track and lowers delivery risks. By applying AI to analyse complex data and build prototypes quickly, I enable stakeholders to make faster decisions without losing architectural quality.
