With over 16 years experience designing and leading in companies of all sizes, I've worked with fledgling startups, scale ups who have found product market fit and multinationals with millions of customers.

Co-host of the thistbh podcast with Will Thomas, where we discussed product design and leadership with people around the world. I also help run a community for design folk called Triangles.
