UX & Product Design Lead
25 years working end-to-end across discovery, definition and design. AI-assisted workflows are a core part of my practice, and I bring hands-on experience designing for AI-powered products.
What I Do
End-to-End Product Design
I work across discovery, definition, and design, from user research to shipped product, delivering measurable user and business outcomes in complex and regulated product environments.
Design Systems
Enterprise design system architecture, token structuring, Figma-to-code alignment, contribution and governance models, embedded WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
Design Leadership
I operate as a player-coach, shaping design strategy and aligning stakeholders at senior level, while staying close enough to the work to drive quality execution and delivery.
AI In My Practice
AI is embedded in my daily workflow, whether designing with AI, or for AI.
AI-Assisted Design Practice
I use AI tools daily to assist my research and design practice. From research synthesis, market analysis, competitor benchmarking, and pattern recocognition, to rapid prototyping with complex interactions and data-heavy logic. Tasks that used to take days, now happen in hours, so we can move quicker and think more deeply.
Preferred Tools: Claude, Figma MCP, Miro AI, Gemini, Replit, Fathom
Continually revising other tools as they evolve: Figma Make, Google AI Studio, ChatGPT, Codex, Lovable, Perplexity, Co-Pilot
Designing For AI-Powered Products & Services
AI changes what UX has to do. Features that predict, generate and automate need clear mental models, honest error states and interactions that keep humans in control.
I bring experience designing for products where the interface has to make complex, data-driven behaviour feel simple and trustworthy.
