I’m a Digital Experience and Brand Systems Designer

With over 10 years across UX and graphic design, I shape brands and platforms that feel cohesive, authentic, perform effectively, and grow over time, by combining strategic thinking with creative execution.

See how I work

I’m a Cambridge-based designer with over a decade of experience working alongside ambitious startups and scale-ups, as well as within the brand team of a high-growth SaaS business.

From 2017 to 2022, I founded and ran my own design agency; leading UX projects, shaping brand systems, and optimising performance, whilst working directly with founders and stakeholders to bring structure to complex ideas.

More recently, I spent over three years within the Brand team of a fast-growing SAAS firm, contributing to campaigns, print projects, and leading the redesign of a high-traffic blogging platform with thousands of daily sessions.

Across both agency and in-house environments, I focus on building digital experiences that are thoughtful, accessible, and designed to evolve over time.

I’m passionate about unique, sustainable, and accessible creations

My design principles
Researched & Considered

Through study of best practices at university, founding my own studio, and working within a research-first Brand team, I’m aware of how vital the processes of research, analysis, and study are, both as a part of the creative process, and for setting targets for success. This is the best way to find a unique angle for success.

Sustainable

Ensuring that websites meet their social, environmental, and financial potential. I do this by maximising the ROI for clients, following principles of low-carbon digital design, and actively seeking clients and projects that have similar priorities.

Stylishly accessible

As a wheelchair user myself, i’m keen to ensure any website is stylish, as well as accessible. I do this by studying WCAG 2.2 guidelines, carefully considering UX, and advocating for inclusivity through the design process.
