I’m super annoyed by bad experiences.

So I’m on a journey to channel this energy to build better things. I’ve learnt that better products are built by great teams, and that building those teams is itself a design problem I find endlessly interesting.

I’ve built design organizations from scratch, shaped product strategy through vision work, and created the practices that make research and discovery part of how companies make decisions. Whether it’s scaling a team from 2 to 16, aligning 50+ stakeholders around a coherent product direction, or helping leadership make a hard strategic pivot, I focus on the systems and culture that make great products possible.

Currently, I’m a lead designer at Canonical, driving cross-portfolio experience coherence for Ubuntu Pro. Previously managing partner at Megis, lead product designer at Krisp.ai, senior UX manager at Trustpilot, head of UX at Emarsys, and UX researcher at Prezi.

Outside of UX, whether it’s cooking, reading sci-fi books, playing boardgames, painting, or exploring new cities I enjoy the whimsy of details that create emergent ideas.

See what I’m up to now.
