About me
I have always been passionate about design ever since I was a kid, whether that be making doll houses out of shoe boxes or adventure scenes out of lego - design is what makes me happiest. Having studied Industrial Design and Technology at Brunel University in 2011, this accelerated my passion for making and designing products that customers care about.
Since then I have spent the last 8 years working as a Product Designer at various companies, including a period across the pond in Stockholm. I have helped companies uncover customer problems and working with the wider business to help drive innovative products that not only champion the customer but also support business roadmaps and targets.

Travel
In 2019 I took a 7 month career break to travel around South East Asia and Australia. I have swam with Whale sharks, visited Uluru and fed elephants in the wild.

Therefore this process is the key to bringing key stakeholders along your journey and building for sucess.
