▍ how I work · service design, UX & design operations
I lead design teams that solve real problems and create experiences that make customers stay.
My work lives at the intersection of service design, UX, and design operations. I help organisations move beyond designing isolated moments and instead design the systems that hold those moments together. That means building the frameworks, rituals, and ways of working that allow teams to design confidently, consistently, and at scale.

target for called-in applications bankers have to take over and restart
Bankers were restarting up to 40% of the self-serve applications customers called about. After a stop-start year and a top-down pivot that didn’t land, a shared design system let Loan Assist ship in the CRM anyway.
