About Me

I’m a designer, technologist, strategist, and leader, passionate about helping people be successful while delivering real business value. I’ve spent the last two decades doing just that, across a range of design, development, management, and leadership roles.

My academic training and professional experience combine craft, strategy, and technical expertise.  I've spent most of my career in the B2B SaaS space, although I honed my skills and learned a lot by serving multiple clients in the world of creative agencies.

As a leader, I've had the honour of building, growing, and supporting teams of different shapes and sizes, with a leadership style based on trust, psychological safety, and high-quality decision-making,

And, as a certified instructor of innovation through human-centred design, I’ve found great joy in helping hundreds of people discover new ways of exploring, ideating, and solving problems, together.
