Helping teams design products with personality, and the systems behind them

I’ve built products and design systems for more than ten years in ecommerce, fintech, edtech, and AI. Accessibility goes in from day one, and the brand doesn’t get lost along the way.

What I actually do as a lead

I work out what to build, then help teams ship it

What I actually do as a leader

Prioritisation

I work out what’s worth building next and size it before anyone opens Figma, if it's not a hell yes, it's a no.

Systems and governance

Owning the design system. Naming, tokens, contribution rules, and the maintenance that keeps it useful.

Accessibility

Setting the standard and building it in by default. And baking into team processes.

Pairing

Sitting with developers while they build and PMs while strategising. It’s how we build the right thing first time.

Mentoring

Navigating difficult situations and communication issues. Career stuff, and ways of working.

Adoption

A design system only pays off when teams use it, so I spend as much time helping them use it as I do building.
