My Experience

I’m a Senior Product Designer with a strong focus on mobile and IoT products, particularly across smart home and building automation. Most recently, I designed Kingfisher’s connected home app, taking it from zero to one across iOS and Android.

Over the past decade, I’ve designed B2B and B2C products across startups, scale-ups and freelance roles, delivering end-to-end experiences for mobile, web and SaaS. I enjoy making complex systems feel simple, intuitive and accessible.

Alongside product design, I create bespoke illustrations that bring personality to products and help explain complex processes. My work spans interface icons, device setup guides and detailed digital assets for monitoring building HVAC systems. My illustration work received a Silver Award at the Creativepool Annual 2024.

About Me

Outside work, I love spending time with my family, making up funny stories with my daughter and bringing her imaginative characters to life through illustration.

I also enjoy challenging myself through calisthenics, building strength and unlocking moves including the front lever, back lever and muscle-up.
