Insights to impact
I lead teams to de-risk complex problems early through rapid validation and data-driven iteration.
Whether navigating 0 to 1 discovery or optimising mature enterprise systems, I bridge the gap
between user needs and technical feasibility to build products that scale.

Discovery & Ideation
I move teams from opinion based decisions to evidence backed decisions. Through deep discovery, I investigate user needs and business constraints to define a clear strategy. This ensures that we validate the right problem before opening a design tool, aligning stakeholders around a shared vision of success.
Methods I lean on
- Assumption mapping to expose hidden risk
- Qualitative research to understand motivation, not just behaviour
- Collaborative workshops to align cross-functional teams around evidence
Tools
- Miro for rapid synthesis and alignment
- Figma for early problem framing, not polish
Prototyping & Validation
I use rapid prototyping to force early decisions, expose risk, and align teams before code is written. I validate these concepts with real users to de-risk the product, ensuring that what is committed to code is proven to deliver value.
Methods I lean on
- Rapid prototyping to explore and compare directions
- User testing focused on behaviour and comprehension
- Iterative refinement based on validated learning
Tools
- Figma for fast iteration and testing
- AI tools to accelerate exploration, synthesis, and iteration where speed matters most
Delivery & Scale
I partner closely with engineering during delivery, ensuring intent is preserved through detailed specifications. Beyond the immediate feature, I build robust design systems that allow the product to scale, reducing technical debt and accelerating future development.
Methods I lean on
- Clear design specs and collaboration with engineering
- System-level thinking across flows, components, and states
- Post-launch measurement to close the loop between intent, usage, and outcomes.
Tools
- Figma for scalable component libraries and documentation and iteration
- Google Analytics, Datadog, Grafana, Power BI (usage, performance, and outcome metrics)
