Creative director & design lead

Shaping digital products, brands and experiences

I lead strategy, design and creative direction across digital products, services and organisations - making complex ideas clear.

About

Creative direction with a practical product mindset.

I connect strategy, design and engineering to turn complex problems into clear, considered products and experiences.

My work spans creative direction, product design, brand and design systems, from shaping propositions and leading discovery to directing the detail.

Across software consultancy, enterprise products, travel and service design, I lead teams, set direction and stay close to the work throughout.
