Principal Product Designer with 15+ years experience across SaaS products at Flicket, Timely, Geckoboard and Xero.
I shape product direction through hands-on design, focusing on simplicity, consistency, and how products scale over time. I partner closely with product and engineering to turn complex problems into simple, well executed outcomes.
When I’m not designing I love getting outdoors and exploring new places. I’m a keen whitewater kayaker and a hopeless skier. I also like to make videos of my adventures.
