About me
I am a product designer with 20+ years of commercial experience. Over this time the work that I do has become firmly rooted in the principles of good design, driven by insights, research and the latest design methodologies. The experience I have gained has enabled me to deliver a wide range of multi-platform creative solutions. I’ve been lucky enough to work with great brands and fantastic people in my career and I hope that others consider my work inspirational and memorable.

Rules for success
As little design as possible
Good design keeps the user focused on a product's primary function and strips away anything superfluous.
Always keep learning
A good designer is never complacent with his or her skillset. You should always make time to develop your craft.
Design with data
Analyse patterns, trends and behaviours to substantiate design decisions about which direction to go.
Be a perfectionist
Design isn’t always about making something perfect but being highly engaged in the process can be beneficial for the outcome.
Associate with talent
This is when the magic really happens, when you build a team of talented people with complementary skills.
Embrace change
Technology and trends are constantly evolving. A good designer is able to adapt and evolve in this ever changing world.
