Personal details

I design digital products for people navigating complex tasks, decisions, and experiences — from consumer-facing apps to enterprise platforms and dashboards — making technology feel clear, useful, and effortless.

Across physical and digital product design, I've learned that the heart of the work stays the same: understand the human problem, then shape a product that works beautifully in practice. I take products from early research through to shipped detail, guided by a simple belief — the harder the problem, the simpler the experience should feel.

Moving into digital product design felt natural. I studied Industrial Design Transportation (BA Hons, 1994), a distinctive qualification combining industrial design, ergonomics, human factors, and real-world systems thinking. I began in automotive and transport, where understanding people, context, and problems was central to the work. I'm naturally curious, and that curiosity still shapes how I design — whether the outcome is physical or digital.

I'm open to senior engagements for Product Designer, Design Lead, or Principal — across consumer, enterprise, and AI-enabled digital products. Based from my studio in Colchester, Essex, I'm available UK-wide for remote or hybrid opportunities. If you're working on a complex product and need clarity, research depth, and a human-centred approach, I'd be happy to talk.
