Design Leader: Product & Strategy

I lead teams & products through the hard moments. When companies need to bring new ideas to life, fix something broken, or scale something that's working

What I bring

Creative Team Leadership

Built and led teams up to 15 designers across UX, brand, and industrial design. Hired, mentored, and developed designers at all levels across London, Singapore, and remote.

0-1 Building New Ideas

Taken products from blank page to commercial launch. At ROXI, led all design from concept through to first 100,000+ units sold and acquisition by Sky.

Product Strategy & Direction

Shaped what got built and why. Moved Sedex from a broken search tool to a platform strategy. Defined product direction for founding teams before a single thing was designed.

How I Lead

Good design leadership isn't just about the work. It's about building the conditions for good work to happen consistently, the team, the culture, the processes, and the trust.

Selected publications

I've spent 15 years working across Asia and Europe, at the points where design has to do real work. Inside startups trying to find their footing, enterprises trying to modernise, and scale-ups trying to grow without breaking. I help close the gap between forward-thinking ideas, unmet user needs and strategic business goals.

I care about building teams as much as building products, and I think the best design leadership is mostly about creating the conditions for good decisions to happen. More recently, I’ve been focused on exploring practical human-centred uses of AI that people can understand and trust.
