    About

    I’m a product design lead based between Manchester and London. With 15 years of experience, I’ve led design at both startups and established companies, including Deliveroo, Rightmove, R/GA, McKinsey – Quantum Black, Salary Finance, and Habito. As the founder of ZIP, I offer unlimited design subscriptions for startups looking to scale fast, and I’ve also created Blue Light Lets, a platform helping key workers access affordable property rentals. I’m passionate about helping startups grow by applying design thinking to drive innovation, particularly in the fintech, Web 3.0, and AI spaces. My focus is always on delivering high-quality design with speed and impact.
