I’m a designer who drives collaboration and alignment in teams, using facilitation and systems thinking. As a product designer with over a decade of experience, I’m now at my best enabling and coaching others. Senior Product Designer with over a decade of hands-on experience in full-stack design for the web. I'm a design generalist who uses sense-making, empathy, and design methods to drive quality, collaboration, and alignment. Seasoned in end-to-end product design, with a knack for participatory design. Comfortable in either side of the double diamond, in any blend of agile. I'm at my best facilitating ideation workshops and co-design sessions. Currently co-leading the design system and the authoring experience design at Contentful. Colourblind, but versed in visual design nonetheless. Recognised by coworkers as "vigorously charming and witty" and "excels at drawing gonads in post-its."
