20 years solving design and product problems that matter.

I've worked with brands including John Lewis, Sainsbury's, Net-A-Porter, Ford, Harrods, and the British Council — designing services and digital products that reach millions. Before founding FlawlessCX in 2014, I led UX and product teams at Estée Lauder and B&Q. My focus has always been the same: understand the cause before prescribing the cure.

"I'm at my best when things feel stuck. My job is to make sense of the mess — and turn it into forward motion."
