I'm obsessed with three things: reducing friction in the design-to-development handoff, building clarity into complex products, and helping designers and engineers collaborate without the usual tension.
Currently, I lead design at VenturEd Solutions, where I oversee four platforms and mentor a team of five designers. I've reduced design-to-code rework by 25–30% through better handoff protocols and documentation. At Community Brands, I drove a 78% increase in product engagement on the School Money Dashboard by embedding research rigor and optimised component systems into every decision.
AI is part of how I work every day — Claude, Figma Make, and Codex help me think through problems faster, document decisions more clearly, and move smarter alongside my teams. It's also now part of what I work on. Alongside my lead role, I provide product design and UX expertise to improve models for a top AI lab through Mercor, Ethos, and many more, helping make those tools better at understanding what good design looks like.
These aren't buzzwords. They're the things I measure my work against every day.
Kindness to humanity, treating people with genuine care.
Designing for business value, making work that moves the needle.
Every voice should be heard and considered.
Failing is the new learning, fail quick, learn quicker.
I'm a voracious reader, aiming for 14 books a year (always playing catch-up on my list). I'm obsessed with travel and have a lifelong mission: to visit every country on earth before I leave. It's ambitious, but I genuinely believe that seeing how people live, their cultures, and their perspectives makes you a better designer and a better human.
At my core, I believe in the power of kindness and human connection. If I had a magic wand, I'd wish for a world where everyone treated each other with genuine care and could truly appreciate and celebrate our differences instead of fear them. I think good design, and good life, starts there.
Being a father has changed how I see everything. It's given me a deeper sense of purpose and patience, and it reminds me daily why the work I do matters. When I'm not designing, parenting, or planning our next family trip, you'll find me training at the gym, cycling through the hills on cold nights, diving to see what's beneath the surface, or lost in a good book. Everything shapes how I see the world and the problems I solve.
Interested in collaborating or just want to say hello? I'm always open to new conversations.
