About

I’m a product designer based in Canterbury, UK. Before my MA I spent ten years in visual design: in government digital services, at a digital news channel from its first days, at a software startup where I also did business development, and in client work through HTech&ILC.

At the University for the Creative Arts I designed and built Venval, which won the Masters Award for Innovation. I work in Figma and take designs into working React builds with AI-assisted development, so I can test ideas as real products rather than static screens.
