Who am I?

Engineer turned designer, I bring a unique perspective to every project I work on. My problem-solving mindset is rooted in empathy and a human-centred approach, allowing me to identify key issues and create simple yet innovative solutions that add real value to people's lives.

Whether I'm designing and prototyping new products or leading workshops and concept sprints, I have the skills and experience necessary to bring your vision to life.
