Founding Designer for Startups.
Design Leader for Global Brands.

From co-founding a 15-year digital agency to leading design at Pizza Hut, Amazon, and JP Morgan.
I bring enterprise-level thinking to early-stage teams that need to move fast and look credible.

Hands-On Founding Designer I don’t just lead – I build. Brand, UX, UI, product, web, marketing. I’ve been the first design hire, the agency founder, and the department head.
I know how to do the work and how to scale it.

Motion Design Systems Architect I’ve built Motion Design Systems for JP Morgan Chase, Amazon eero, and Unilever – complete with tokens, guidelines, principles, and Lottie-ready component libraries. Motion that works at scale.

20+ Years. Zero Fluff. Award-winning design leader with a track record across fintech, e-commerce, blockchain, entertainment, and global QSR. I’ve led teams, run agencies, and shipped products across 14 markets.

The Designer Who Does Both.

Most companies need two people: a strategic design leader and a hands-on executor. I’m both.

Over 20 years I’ve built brands from scratch, designed and shipped products, led teams of up to 20, and created motion systems used by millions of people worldwide. I’ve been a co-founder, a Head of Design, a Design Director, and a consultant – which means I understand every seat at the table.

Right now I’m Head of Design at Orenda Finance, where I own everything from the core banking app UX to the website, brand identity, and marketing funnels. That’s the kind of range I bring to every role.

I’m based in London and open to senior design leadership, founding designer, and specialist motion design opportunities.
