Thought leader at the intersection of Design, AI & Business
AI-Augmented Design Practice
I’m a UX & Product Design Leader with 14+ years of experience crafting user-centred solutions that drive meaningful business outcomes. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, emerging technology, and human-centred design — helping organizations turn complex challenges into scalable, real-world solutions.
Selected Impact
-
Core contributor to an award-winning product built from concept to launch
-
Led UX direction for innovation-focused product initiatives
-
Delivered end-to-end product experiences across emerging technology and business needs
What distinguishes my approach is how I leverage AI as a design multiplier — accelerating discovery, enabling new product capabilities, and embedding intelligence into the experience layer.
I bridge the gap between business strategy and design execution — translating complexity into systems, decisions, and product experiences teams can ship and scale.
AI & Emerging Tech Fluency
I actively integrate AI tools into design workflows — from research synthesis to generative prototyping — and help organisations develop AI-native product strategies.
Strategic business translation
I bridge design and the C-suite, translating user insight into revenue impact, risk reduction, and competitive advantage that executives act on.
Systems thinking at scale
From design systems to operating models, I build the infrastructure that makes excellent design repeatable — not dependent on heroic individual effort
Evidence-led decision making
Every major product decision I make is grounded in research, data, and validated insight. I build cultures where gut feel is a hypothesis, not a conclusion.
Cross-functional leadership
I lead through influence as much as authority — aligning product, engineering, and business stakeholders around a shared design vision that everyone can execute.
