I've been making things for as long as I can remember
I've been making things for as long as I can remember
When I was six, my school held a weekly craft assembly every Wednesday. You could bring in something you’d made at home, and I brought something every single week. I loved writing little stories about my life, and in them, I wrote about my love for art and being “good at making 3D objects.”
Twelve years later, I’d gotten pretty good at making 3D objects - studying Product Design at Central Saint Martins, the UK’s most prestigious art school. It was there I learned how to channel my curiosity and use design to make a difference for others.

That drive took me into public service and transport design, where I worked on large-scale infrastructure projects - from Transport for London's Elizabeth Line to suburban stations in Sydney, Australia. It was a masterclass in systems thinking and collaboration: hundreds of specialists designing something to last a century and serve millions. But the very permanence that made it exciting also made it slow. I wanted to see the impact of my work sooner, to test, learn, and iterate. You can’t exactly A/B test a train station.

That curiosity led me into tech, where I could design experiences that evolved every two weeks instead of every two decades.

Since then, my work has spanned large-scale systems and ambiguous problem spaces, where clarity, craft, and empathy hold everything together. I launched EdTech Impact from concept to live product in six months, redesigned navigation for a complex management information system at Arbor Education, and designed an automated rental progression product at Rightmove from 0→1, bringing calm and clarity to the process of moving home. I later led design for transparency features at Trustpilot used by over 63 million monthly visitors.
Today, I lead design for the growth of Localization at Articulate, improving how teams create and manage multi-lingual and multi-cultural learning experiences.

Beyond the work, I care deeply about shaping a more inclusive design industry. I’m an advocate for diversity in tech, active in Journi and Black designer communities that champion greater representation. It matters to me that the next generation of designers see themselves in this field - and know they belong here.

When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me doing backbends at my favourite yoga studio, going on silent Buddhist meditation retreats, or cycling across continents - most recently a 4000km ride through Central and South America
