Beyond Design

I'm based in Cornwall, where I'm raising my family surrounded by some of the most stunning coastline in the UK. Living here isn't just about the views, it's about a lifestyle that keeps me grounded and inspired. When I'm not designing, you'll find me catching waves along theCornish coast. Surfing has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of reading conditions before making a move, lessons that translate surprisingly well to product design.

My family and I love exploring in our camper van, taking spontaneous trips to discover hidden beaches, coastal paths, and quiet corners of nature. These adventures remind me why I'm drawn to mission-driven companies, organisations that aren't just focused on profit, but on making a genuine positive impact on people's lives and the world around us. Whether it's improving financial wellness, building trust in healthcare technology, or creating more accessible digital experiences, I want my work to matter.

Nature has a way of providing perspective. A morning surf or a weekend in the van reminds me that the best solutions often come when you step back, breathe, and approach problems with fresh eyes. It's also taught me the value of sustainability and long-term thinking, principles I bring to my design work. Just as we protect the natural spaces we love for future generations, I design experiences that stand the test of time and improve people's lives in meaningful, lasting ways.

Balancing family life, a passion for the outdoors, and a career in product design has taught me resilience, time management, and what truly matters. It's made me a better designer, more empathetic, more grounded, and more committed to creating work that aligns with my values.
