Summary

I'm a Senior Product Designer & Product Owner with 7+ years leading complex B2B and B2C SaaS products. My PhD in Design (EPSRC-funded, wearable technology) trained me in rigorous mixed-methods research, skills I bring directly into every commercial project.

As Senior Product Designer & Product Owner at Evora Global (SIERA), I've owned the Net Zero Carbon and Renewables modules end-to-end, growing research participation 18× and contributing directly to 80% client retention. Before that, four years teaching at Brunel University across UX Design, VR/AR, Design Management and Electronics.

My superpower: translating high-stakes data complexity into interfaces that drive business decisions, wherever complex data meets the humans who depend on it.
