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 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 scaled Rightmove’s signed-in users while bringing calm and clarity to the process of moving home. Most recently, I’ve been at Trustpilot, leading design for transparency features used by over 63 million monthly visitors.

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.

I recently relocated from London to Los Angeles and I'm open to new opportunities that combine craft, challenge and purpose.

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
