IN CREATIVITY

We create work that shapes
tomorrow’s digital landscape

I’m a design leader with a track record of building brands and products at the intersection of creativity, technology and culture. I’ve led end-to-end design strategy; scaled a creative SaaS platform from launch to exit while maintaining outstanding customer experience, and brought world-first innovation to the blockchain. Adept at nurturing high-performing teams, I’ve driven digital transformation for leading international brands and seeded global communities in visual arts and AI. I deliver commercially minded and future-focused work alongside measurable business impact.

Impact

I lead and build digital platforms and ventures at the intersection of creativity, emerging technology and commercial strategy. I identify high-leverage technological opportunities; including frontier systems - and deliver future-focused work alongside measurable business impact.

  • Strategy & Transformation

    I help enterprise organisations modernise and scale through design. Establishing the teams, systems, and product foundations that turn emerging technology and sentiment into durable competitive advantage.

  • AI for Innovation

    I bring design and innovation leadership to scale-up and enterprise companies ready to adopt AI as a tool to step from incremental optimisation to structural redesign - navigating that shift from a position of disciplined experimentation, architectural thinking and commercial clarity.

  • Product & Experience

    With a background in hands-on management across the full product lifecycle from vision to execution I have a proven track record of delivering award-winning products and digital experiences that matter to the people who use them.

  • Brand & Identity

    I’m adept at owning and evolving brand and identity systems of service and product companies from inception to maturity in sports, fashion and lifestyle, financial and professional services. I define and distill purpose, vision and values into a recognisable and resonant look and feel.

  • Presentation & Visualisation

    Data visualisation is the rewarding output of a valuable testing and measurement flow. I fluently present and communicate marketplace data, complex metrics and forecast goals from a place of deep technical and commercial understanding.

Process

I practice data-driven design thinking that merges human-centered empathy with quantitative analysis. With data as core driver I test and validate sentiment to inform an iterative process that recognises stakeholder and customer needs whilst accelerating innovation.

Empathise

I begin by placing myself in the ecosytem to better understand user and organisation motivations, needs and pain points through conversation, observation and mapped research

Key activities:

Conversation: directly engaging stakeholders and users Horizon Scanning: detect potential opportunities, risks and trends Observation: reviewing and feeding back on current interaction Mapping: identifying drivers and edge cases, journeymaking Identification: finding complimentary external parallels or patterns

Discover:

Meaningful human insights as drivers for design and change.

Define

With clear empathy insights established, I analyse and synthesise gathered research to define a focused, user-centred demand that aligns with business goals and market opportunities

Key Activities:

Analysis: reviewing user data and observations Synthesis: developing user personas, key patterns and themes Problem framing: a clear problem statement from needs and insights Opportunity framing: translating the problem into explorable paths Alignment: ensuring framing meets organisational or market goals

Determine:

A clear, actionable goal that integrates with organisational strategy.

Ideate

From a defined goal, focus shifts to generating, structuring, and selecting innovative solutions ready to explore or prototype through divergent and convergent thinking

Key activities:

Idea Generation: via brainstorming, mind-mapping, rapid ideation SCAMPER: combine, modify, eliminate and rearrange ideas Storyboarding: finding visual solutions and pattern affinity Concept Generation: partial or full solution directions Concept Selection: evaluating and shortlisting prototype opportunities

Propose:

Promising or validated solution concepts ready to prototype.

Make

Leading the transformation of concepts and patterns into prototypes that meet minimum viable or desirable goals in order to test, learn and iterate on a low-friction platform

Key activities:

Rapid Modelling: wireframes and visualising user journeys Prototyping: low-fidelity solutions for feedback Design System: reusable, high-fidelity component library Iterative Refinement: prototype refinement from initial feedback

Outcome:

Transforming concepts into tangible and testable representations.

Test

An ongoing, iterative process of validating solutions through user interaction, testing, strategy alignment and then iterating through insights

Key activities:

Usability Testing: user observation, active observation A/B Testing: version and scenario comparisons Measurement: defining and tracking metrics and KPIs Hypotheses Validation: testing fulfilment of strategic intent Iterative Refinement: continued refinement from fresh feedback

Outcome:

Implementation-ready solutions with organisation and market alignment

Ecosystem

The initiatives and organisations below have helped shape my journey or are instrumental in helping me to shape the journey's of others.

Grow

Over the last few years I've been guided by World-class entrepreneurs and leaders rvia SETSquared, Virgin StartUp, Dot Dot Dot and Crowdcube. Ongoing symbiotic co-pilots and cherished advisors help me navigate and understand nuance and granularity in sectors and work practices adjacent or ahead of my own.

Advocate

Through ongoing associate judge commitments with The Webby Awards, The Lovie Awards - and previously with a self-initiated creative awards showcase and creative portfolio review programmes - I'm engaged in helping creators find a voice and audience for their talents; regardless of where they've come from or where they are.

Guide

In participation with support and education providers such as Bristol University, UAL, Bath Spa University, Business West, Techspark and ClickStart I encourage entrepreneurs and creators to confidently embark on self-sustaining careers via pitch judging, workshops and transferring past experience in service and product businesses.
