What I do

I facilitate strategic and tactical initiatives for digital products, with a focus on research and interaction design, product leadership and ways of working.

  • Design and launch new products

    If you have an idea or an early prototype, I can help your organisation clarify its purpose, identify your assumptions and test initial hypothesis, flesh out the first version of the product for and with your potential target audience.

    • Facilitation and early discovery
    • Value proposition testing
    • Ideation and lean product design
    • Go-to market strategy
    • Launch assessment and iteration

  • Improve products with your team

    I can join as a member of your established product team, either as an individual contributor or team lead. I will lead the design practice, while also coaching in continuous product discovery, management and ways of working.

    • Opportunities assessment
    • Lean research and discovery
    • Prototyping and people feedback
    • Development support
    • Continuous improvements

My values, at work and outside

  • Sustainability

    In the current climate crisis, I try my best to reduce waste and support initiatives that regenerate the world.

    I won't support products or services that might harm nature and people, or try to solve problems that no one has.

  • Transparency

    I value respectful communication, openness and honesty.

    I will tell you if something doesn't sound right, and I will ask you to do the same. It can sometimes be uncomfortable but it pays off in the long term.

  • Reciprocity

    I try to share what I have in excess - time, resources or knowledge.

    I do it in the hope that someone or something else will benefit from my actions, and that it might trigger reciprocity reinforcing loops around me.

Why am I sharing my values?
  • It pushes me to be myself all the time and openly share who I am with the people I'm working with.
  • It allows me to feel more connected to what I'm contributing to, generating a sense of continuity between my personal beliefs and my professional actions.
  • It encourages me to focus on collaborating with partnering people and organisations to achieve shared goals.
