Profile

Human-centred.
Results-driven.

Over 16 years leading design at scale — managing teams of 20+ designers, shaping products used by millions, and building from zero to shipped. I bring both the hands-on craft and the strategic clarity that ambitious digital products demand.

Craft & Systems

Human-centered product design, accessible interfaces, and design systems built to scale — from token architecture to governance models that teams actually use.

Leadership

Building and guiding high-performing design teams, fostering creative culture, and connecting design to business outcomes.

Delivery

From ambiguous brief to shipped product — fluent in agile, cross-functional collaboration, and maintaining quality at pace.

Design is about the audience. Everything else is decoration.

Currently co-founding Castafiore. Previously partnered with Hapkey, and served on advisory boards at Hyper Island and Nackademin.

Design Philosophy

The
Manifesto

Eight principles I hold to when designing products and leading teams. Not guidelines — commitments.

Lean

Design with a lean mindset by focusing on minimal viable products, gathering continuous feedback, iterating rapidly to validate assumptions, and removing waste to achieve the desired outcome efficiently.

Accessible with Empathy

Design for accessibility and inclusivity by empathically understanding the diverse needs and abilities of all users, including those with disabilities, and implementing inclusive solutions throughout the design process.

Problem Focused

Thoroughly understand the needs and pain points of users before proposing solutions, rather than jumping to answers without fully understanding the problem at hand.

Collaborative

Design through collaboration by actively engaging end users, clients, and stakeholders throughout the process to co-create solutions that meet their needs and exceed expectations.

Encourage Experimentation

Foster an environment of exploration, encouraging new technologies, design approaches, and methodologies to stay ahead of the curve and continuously learn smarter ways of solving problems.

Shareable & Reusable

Create shareable and reusable design systems that provide a foundation for consistent and efficient product design, easily scaled to support new products and features.

For the Planet

Create solutions that meet user needs while benefiting the environment, considering the full lifecycle of the product and minimising its ecological impact through circular design principles.

Lead by Example

Design leaders earn respect by staying current with the field's evolution — the only way is by consistently participating in design work with the team and being an integral part of production.

"Art is about the artist, and design is about the audience. Art is subjective, while design is objective. Art expresses creativity while design leverages creativity."
