I believe good design is more than just colour and layout, it should have purpose, meet core user needs and add value to an experience.

I'm a design specialist with more than 20 years industry experience in UX, UI & Product Design. I’ve worked with some fantastic high profile companies as well as being involved in large scale corporate projects.

My aim is to help clients realise their desired vision by producing highly professional, engaging and creative solutions.

I enjoy being involved in all aspects of the user centred design process, from running workshops, conducting research, to prototyping ideas, visualising stories and shaping service strategies.
