About Me
I'm an experienced Product Design Leader specialising in B2B SaaS platforms and complex data tooling. I focus on driving design strategy and mentoring teams to deliver user-centric solutions.
My diverse experience includes driving the design of RegNav, an AI-powered compliance intelligence platform at Element Materials Technology, and designing a standalone data analytics SaaS solution called Astrato for Vizlib that leverages Snowflake's data cloud. I also led UI/UX design for POKERSTARS, the world's largest poker site, with 3.4M players across 140 countries.
RegNav, by Element
Joined an R&D department at the early stages of MVP development, leveraging digital solutions and AI to navigate medical device regulation and compliance.
Astrato, by Vizlib
An end-to-end project for a cloud-native BI solution, leveraging the flexibility and performance of Snowflake’s cutting-edge cloud data warehouse.
First Time Experience
A project to improve retention for Astrato users that opt out of white-glove sessions. This initiative also allowed us to assess the effectiveness of our visual-first approach.
