Designer

Senior Creative Design / Art Direction

I love designing functional engaging product experiences for people. With a background in design, art direction and communications, I have always been a visual storyteller driven by a desire to understand and influence my audience. I am an effective problem solver with unquenchable curiosity for mindsets and technologies shaping our wold currently, who analyse problems and strive to improve on everything I see. I am comfortable in abstract and strategic thought, but I am also grounded by organisation and concrete detail. I believe that technology can revolutionise how people learn, communicate and create and I’m passionate about shaping products and services that help people focus on what they do best; living.
