I’ve been designing digital experiences for over 8 years across a variety industries.
I believe great product design comes from focusing on the right questions, not the right answers.
About
Throughout my experience as a designer, I've had the pleasure of working with some talented and passionate people, striving for a shared goal in created the best experience for the end user and also the clients.
Some of the clients I've worked with include: Bounce Inc, Oakley, The Academy Brand, Kérastase, Glue store, Debenhams, Snooze, BMW Safari and BMW Motorrad.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me either outdoors on a hike or rolling somewhere on my skateboard destroying what cartilage I have left in my legs.
