I worked as a Design Leader for a global corporation in Asia, and created
MDZ Design, helping people turn great product ideas into market ready solutions. Alongside this, I contribute back to industry through
public speaking, being a design fellow at
Coho, an ambassador of
Women In Innovation, writing
articles on Medium and mentoring junior designers. I also recently wrote a book on
Design for Business Owners.Before, I gained international work experience in consulting, start-ups, and in-house in roles which championed the voice of the user, or helped consider ways to grow design teams or improve design cultures. During this decade I worked in teams on global & local
projects across industries such as, Consumer Electronics, Household Goods, Travel, Finance, Audio & Video, Packaging, Retail. With some consumer products brought in to the market. A career highlight is designing and launching the first
combined physical & digital dedicated music device, from scratch, at UK start-up
Roxi.
Now, my career interests revolve around design, innovation & product strategy. Creating broader solutions spanning across digital, physical, virtual, and/or service. Whether I work on, spaces, systems, or products, I believe that research, experimentation, ideation and real-world testing brings the best design results.
I'm currently based in
Hong Kong,
Ireland,
