Seasoned Product Designer and catalyst for positive leadership
With close to a decade of experience, I'm a Product Designer who loves turning complex problems into user-friendly solutions. My main design principles are simplicity and accessibility, ensuring that everyone can use and enjoy the products I create. I bring these principles to life by collaborating closely with stakeholders, clients, and cross-functional teams, understanding their needs and weaving them into the design process.

Designing beyond boundaries
I thrive on navigating the complexities of B2B and B2B2C segments, where I've polished my skills in creating innovative, user-friendly designs that transform platforms. Whether it's shaping the user experience of complex systems or cultivating the visual identity that resonates with brand values, I've been at the forefront of bringing ideas into impactful design solutions.
Leadership with a human touch
As much as I excel in design, I am equally passionate about leading teams and fostering a positive team culture. My leadership style is characterised by a unique blend of empathy, collaboration, and a results-driven mindset. Having worked directly with business owners, I understand the pivotal role my solutions play in helping business goals, and I leverage this insight to drive design excellence.
Inspiring through public speaking
Beyond the playground of design, I take the stage as a dynamic speaker and storyteller, weaving together life experiences and experience of product design. As an active member of Toastmasters, I sharpen my skills in communication and leadership, adding a touch of humour and authenticity into my presentations.
Fuelling innovation in startup environments
My journey in startup environments has not only fuelled my passion for design innovation but has also instilled in me a keen understanding of the dynamics that drive success in fast-paced, entrepreneurial settings. I am committed to being a positive force that propels teams toward achieving their goals.
What else…
When I'm not reimagining how great designs and products can make a positive impact on the world, I enjoy playing badminton, photography, and diving into my passion for cars. To explore my journey where cars meet photography, visit my profile on Glass.
