Bio

I am a multidisciplinary designer and researcher focused on building meaningful digital products and experiences.

Over the past eight years, Ive been hands-on, designing and delivering solutions spanning the Oil & gas, Energy, Education, Healthcare, Automotive, SAAS and Entertainment industries.

In this time and across the aforementioned industries, I have planned, designed and managed the developement of both enterprise and consumer facing products.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical engineering from Coventry University with particular distinctions in Product innovation and Design principles.

I'm an avid believer in the fact that design isn’t just building beautiful and delightful products but in figuring out how to innovate around problems and having the willingness to iterate till a solution is manifest.

My overall objective—as above—is to continuously find ways to innovate around problems I find interesting, or points of tension behind the projects and assignments I take on, investigate functionality, strengths, weaknesses etc. and by applying a solution based design thinking approach, create multiple iterations which would facilitate the production of a solution that satisfy’s peak functionality and aesthetics requirements

In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, travelling and teaching
