Design Leadership

I help teams & companies find direction. When they need to bring new ideas to life, build design capability, shape strategy or create products people value

What I bring

Building Design Capability

Hired and led teams up to 15 designers across UX, brand, and industrial design. Coached senior leaders to embed design as a strategic capability.

Turning Ambiguity into New Products

Taken products and founding teams move from idea to commercial launch, 0-1. At ROXI, led design and direction from vision, concept through to first 100,000+ units sold and acquisition by Sky.

Creating Product Direction

Helped teams understand what to build, why it matters, and where to go next. Moved a B2B SaaS broken search experience into a broader platform strategy with clear product direction.

How I've Led

Good design leadership isn't just about the work. It's about building the conditions for good work and good ideas 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, global organisations 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.

Experienced across digital, brand and physical products and care about creating new products, as much as helping a company or team move forward in a clear direction.
