About

I’m a UX researcher and product designer with experience across medical devices, rail, energy and enterprise software.
I often work on products with complex workflows, technical constraints and many different stakeholders. I enjoy learning unfamiliar domains, speaking with the people who use the product and helping teams make clearer decisions.
Outside work, I’m usually cycling, playing piano, following fashion, learning something new or spending time with friends and family. I’m curious by nature and rarely very good at doing nothing.
