[ Product Design & Leadership ]

Figuring out how to make something complex feel simple is my kind of fun. I’m all about creating smooth, user-friendly experiences that just work.

Figma

// A Hint of My Process.

For design, pattern libraries, systems and prototyping, I use Figma. FigJam for Brainstorming, ideation & mapping.

Illustrator for vector.

Photoshop won't leave me alone and I am handy with video editing (After Effects and Premiere).

For comms, whatever you like. I prefer face to face though.

I am familiar with Confluence and JIRA (& Trello), Notion and Monday, but not very concerned with documentation software.

AI is an interesting one, I’m messing around with Firefly & Midjourney for image generation but not a huge call for it just yet.

// Leadership

I am hands on and prefer to lead by example.

The best leaders work with their people. Refine and develop skills from technical to personal. Teach method.

Most importantly, there's always something new to learn.

Personally,

I am very passionate about design and will talk your ears off about it. I tend to settle nicely into new groups but really...

I live for a yarn, preferably 10% bullshit. I have a dry, self deprecative sense of humour.

Cricket, the Saints, a beer, my PlayStation, the NY Rangers (weird quirk), my kids and my wife. Is that in order?
