In 2019 I led the design of the world’s leading voice experience for children, winning a Webby Award in the process.
In 2022, ahead of the current wave of AI driven products, I led the design of a generative weather forecast at the BBC.
This project delivered personalised weather forecasts at national scale using a synthetic voice and automated content generation across 3,000 UK postcode regions.
I’ve spoken about my work at international design conferences and leading organisations including LEGO, RTÉ and IBM.
Since 2023, I’ve led the growth and development of a 30+ person UX function at interactive investor, building the systems, culture, and capability behind a high-performing design team.
Now I’m looking to return to a hands-on design role, bringing a systems-level perspective on design, AI and collaboration.
