Design leadership and practical advice for early-stage start-ups and SMEs

With over 20 years of experience as a UX design leader, I specialise in helping early-stage startups and SMEs build exceptional products. Most recently, as Head of Product and Development, I guided a disruptive clinical trial payments platform from 0 to 1, delivering a native app, seamless partner integration APIs, and leading the development team to achieve ISO 27001 and 9001 certifications. I offer no-nonsense, practical advice on how to get meaningful design done in Agile environments where time and resources are stretched.
