I help people get things done.

I'm a product designer who's helped generate over £100m in revenue for tech companies in the last 5 years alone by collaborating with research, engineering and product to design 0 to 1 products that people love.

I'm currently leading design for the core experience of Spotify Portal for Backstage, an internal developer tool. That means solving problems for engineers who write and maintain the code for products used by millions around the world.
