About
I'm a design leader and founder with fifteen years across UX, service design, and most recently as Head of AI Studio. I've had the privilege to mentor somewhere north of 100 people, as both an IC and a leader, and spent most of my career at the edges of roles that didn't exist yet, so the messy in-between is my favourite place to be. Mostly I want to hear about yours. I'm warm, direct, and endlessly curious about how people got where they are.
