About

Curiosity, connected to craft.

I'm a multi-disciplinary designer for complex organisations. I think in terms of systems: seeing the pattern, iterating quickly, connecting people who don't usually talk to each other, and loving the build itself.

Selected work

Case study
Product · Configurator

A trip-scoped phrase trainer built on voice agents: it runs a spoken drill, listens, and corrects in real time. Live.

Case study
Facilitation · AI operations

Benefact Group

Design thinking for a team that had never had it, then AI to make the room survive contact with a document. My current role, written up.

Case study
Systems build

BrandFlow Studio

A node canvas for branded image and video generation, built to make on-brand creative repeatable rather than lucky.

Case study
Brand · Reference to final

DEYA

From a flat product tile to an art-directed brand world: AI product photography, video hover-cards and a concept identity, all from one repeatable pipeline.

Case study

AI-Native Design Lead

Hybrid · RemoteOpen to the right one
AI product designCreative systemsService design PrototypingArt direction

Key responsibilities

  • Own the design of AI-native products end to end, from the loop underneath to the interface on top
  • Build working prototypes rather than decks, and use them to settle arguments early
  • Design the generation pipelines that make creative output repeatable for a whole team
  • Set the guardrails: where a model proposes, where a human approves, and what never ships unchecked
  • Facilitate the cross-functional sessions that turn a messy brief into one clear decision
  • Hold the taste line, and say honestly what was automated and what was curated

Role overview

This role sits where creative direction meets systems thinking. Working end to end, from the first prompt to the shipped artefact, turning one-off AI output into something a team can re-run without losing the taste.

Expect to shift between hands-on making and the architecture behind it: prototyping in code, art-directing models, mapping the loop, and deciding where a human has to stay inside it. The job is to make AI genuinely useful to an organisation, not merely visibly present in it.

Beyond work

Life
🏃

Runner & gym

Where I do my actual thinking. Most of the ideas on this site arrived somewhere around mile three.

🎬

Film buff

Obsessed with storytelling and character arcs. Favourite of late: In the Mood for Love, and anything with Jake Gyllenhaal.

🔧

Maker

The half of this job I would do anyway. The work page is mostly things nobody asked for.

✈️

Traveller

Berlin in October, which is why I built a voice trainer to get me through it.
