About

I'm a product and design leader with a multipassionate background and an emerging practice in data art and physicalisation.

WHAT I DO

leadership by example

I’m a Senior Director of Product Design at a top-tier cybersecurity company. Over the past 7 years, I grew from Senior Manager to Senior Director alongside the design team and the product. Together, we’ve gone from 5 designers and 5 modules to an organisation of 115 building a platform ecosystem. I’ve stayed close to the work throughout: research, information architecture, design systems, and data, in addition to setting direction, leading key design projects, and growing designers and managers.

Today my work is platform information architecture, concepting and building core platform capabilities from the ground up, and leading vision for industry-shaping products.

WHERE I’VE BEEN

deep in craft

I started as a hands-on designer, researcher, content strategist, and architect. I have led full UX teams of designers, writers, researchers, ops, and QA. This background created the foundation of my current leadership: with fluency in the craft, awareness of constraints, and feedback that's both strategic and specific.

My background is deliberately broad. I hold an MFA in Fashion, which shaped my thinking about product, systems, and craft in ways a technical degree wouldn't have. I also have certificates in AI leadership, data visualisation, and illustration, with a thread of musical theatre and vocal performance woven in for good measure from my earlier university days. I've worked across enterprise software, ecommerce, consumer products, and agencies.

WHERE I’M GOING

my future is data

I'm building a data art practice that treats information as material culture. Not simply something we analyse or visualise, but something we can inhabit and experience.

I'm pursuing graduate study in data analytics and visualisation to ground this in both analytical rigour and technical systems with a focus on installations, wearables, movement, and exhibition-scale work

This direction brings together the full arc of my background, including theatre and stagecraft, journalism and media, retail design and fashion merchandising, and UX/product and service design.
