About

Professionally I build digital products. Personally I race cars.

I have two decades of experience in the design space.
My interest is to deliver complete products, handle research and talk to the users, mentor younger designers, lead strategic initiatives and promote growth for organisations.

My aim is to humanise and simplify complex ideas through careful craft, creativity, design patterns and optimisation.

Beliefs

Strive for better as no one is perfect. Aim for greatness and keep going. Help others grow and you'll grow too. Think as a user and design as a scientist.
