I help brands build digital ecosystems people actually use
It started in 1999 when I co-founded and built a social platform for digital artists that scaled to tens of thousands of members generating millions of monthly pageviews. It predated Facebook and the concept of “social media” entirely. Since then, I have spent 25 years architecting large-scale digital platforms, leading embedded UX teams through complex in-housing transitions, and pioneering mobile features long before they became industry standards. A quarter-century in, my approach remains grounded in a simple core discipline: cutting through organisational opinions to figure out what a user actually needs, and eliminating whatever is getting in their way.
Teams do their best work when everyone knows what is going on and feels safe enough to say what they think. A lot of my work is making sure that happens.

Brands I have worked with
Global sportswear leaders, European supermarkets, a military force, legendary musicians and healthcare giants. On the surface, they look nothing alike. Underneath, the challenge is always identical: competing internal priorities, legacy platforms and the urgent need for a unified digital vision. Their audiences are rarely just consumers. They are enthusiasts, recruits, shoppers, creators and everyday people looking for a friction-free experience.
