Work, education and more

I first learnt about human-centered design through a social innovation lens, before training in the world of tech as a product designer. I quickly moved on to work as a service designer for the Red Cross and the UK government.

Throughout that journey I've developed a range of skills across research, design, strategy and leadership. Check out my work or read about my skills.
