I am a digital product designer and leader with over 20 years of experience delivering top-notch digital products and nurturing design teams to achieve excellence.
As the founder of KUGO Games, I built the brand and business from the ground up. This included creating all designs, developing the website, and launching a successful Kickstarter campaign that surpassed its funding goal by over 500%. Additionally, I managed mailing lists, marketing, community building, manufacturing, logistics, taxes, and customs.
In my role at Toyota, I helped manage and grow the design team responsible for delivering the global car companion app. This involved supporting the team in designing and developing innovative experiences in the ever-evolving world of connected mobility and transportation.
I have had the privilege of working with some renowned brands and companies such as, Toyota, Pfizer, HMRC, Brandwatch, BBC, Wellcome Collection, Kew Gardens and TUI Travel. My contributions have always focused on producing high-quality, meaningful, and user-centered experiences.
Before contracting, I was the Head of Commercial Design & Web at Brandwatch. In this role, I managed and expanded a team of designers and developers, introduced new workflows, and improved processes to enhance our outputs.
A notable high point in my career was my time at the industry-defining agency Clearleft.
Working in their inspiring offices, I had the privilege to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in our industry on some of the most interesting projects.
My passion lies in the creative process, but my true strength is in people. Whether leading or practicing, I dedicate my time and effort to the team. A balanced and motivated team with a clear mission can accomplish anything.
Away from my laptop, you’ll find me on mountains hiking, biking, or skiing, or near water surfing, swimming, and paddle-boarding!
