About me

My skills in helping clients turn their inspiration into an effective design solution have seen me work with some of the most respected studios, brands and talents.

15+ years of sector-smashing design

I started my design journey in the early 2000s, studying Graphic Design at Forth Valley College in Falkirk, Scotland. After graduating, I launched myself into the industry, taking on a ground-up role at Lloyds Banking Group where I was immersed in the world of design, usability and accessibility.

From there, I've steadily built my career, leading design teams at a leading UK design agency and championing UX in a pioneering FinTech startup. Today, I am offering a bridge between product and development as a UX contractor with an American SaaS giant.

To stay at the forefront of UX Design, I completed a Professional Diploma in 2021. Even with years of experience, continuous learning ensures my practices align with the latest industry standards.

Strategic product design

I execute innovative and effective design solutions for complex projects, backed by the Double Diamond UX process. From initial wires to testing and refining the live product.

Design leadership

I revel in bringing stakeholders and team members on board with the design process. I'm always inspired by the creatives in my own team and cherish 1-2-1 time sharing ideas.

Visual direction & brand

Whether it's a design system, social media marketing campaign or physical artwork - I have an unmatched ability to help brands articulate their inspiration in a clear and effective way.

UX research and IA

I'm professionally certified in the full UX process. From studying user needs and behaviours to crafting an IA that defines the end-user's experience.
