About

I'm Head of Design at the Co-op and company director at Manchester based media platform Finest Group.

I specialise in design leadership, strategy, product management, UX, accessibility and front-end engineering.

I'm a generalist in service design, content design and user research.

I have a deep understanding of the web, its technologies and how to create and iterate sucessful products.

I work four days as Head of Design at the Co-op and one at my business — Manchester’s Finest.

I believe in:

• crafting outcome based visions that align to customer and business needs that empower teams to solve problems, not just deliver
• using researched based design to achieve user and business goals
• prototyping in code and showing users early and often
• the power of systems and efficiency to empower teams to innovate and move quickly
• collaboration across disciplines to create the best outcomes
