The foundation of my career was built on graphic design. As the industry evolved, so did my expertise, giving me the opportunity to hone skills in branding, animation, communication design and more.
My passion for technology and design naturally pulled me towards user experience where I’ve been specialising as a Product Designer since 2015.
I’m currently at one of the UK’s fastest-growing fintechs, GoCardless, where I’ve been leading teams for the past 8 years through its transition from a start-up to acquisition.
For me, design doesn’t start and end with office hours, so I like to spend time following the latest trends and building my own apps.
2018 to present
Senior Manager, Product Design
Core responsibilities include day-to-day running of the Product Design discipline, and ensuring designers are supported with competency frameworks, career development, and regular feedback. Collaboration is key across senior leadership, design management and product development teams.
The role also requires a strong player-manager who can adapt to the needs of the business, working directly on designs to move the strategy forward. This could be anything from a 3-5 year product vision, to stepping into a team and designing an experiment for self-serve merchants and end customers.
