A consistent focus on design runs through my work experience, education and ongoing learning. Over time, this path evolved from hands-on design to leading teams and shaping strategy.

Wanna say hi ?

Welcome, mate.

Since 2012, I’ve been working at the intersection of design, strategy, and collaboration. I help organizations build services and products that feel useful, human, and thoughtful.

Strategic design connects the dots – between user needs, business goals, and product/service solutions. Done right, it aligns intent with action, delivers proven results, and builds trust through thoughtful products and services. Sounds interesting?
