UX • Design • Product • Strategy
A knowledgeable US-based user-centric product designer, systems thinker and creative strategist.
Taking challenges and opportunities from discovery through to delivery, I use human-centered design together with a lean, collaborative approach to tackle complex problems across product, end-to-end platforms, service and innovation.
I joined Amazon in 2019 where I design experiences customers love for Prime Video.
I've previously led UX at R/GA, Razorfish, Beyond, Ogilvy, Publicis Sapient, and Sky.
Away from work, I enjoy the vibrant cultural offerings of the US and Pacific Northwest – all without losing my Northern British roots.
