About Me

Dynamic Product Design leader specialising in fintech innovation, with proven ability to transform complex financial services requirements into intuitive digital experiences.

Currently serving as Lead Product Designer at Old Mutual Bank, where I've established robust design processes across multiple squads and mentored high-performing teams. I've also worked with AI startups, providing design direction and concepts for their diverse product offerings - from chatbots and business integrations to specialised pharmaceutical mobile applications.

Outside of work, I'm a curious soul who devours everything from design theory to emerging tech trends. You'll find me maintaining discipline at the gym, attempting (badly) to master the guitar, and constantly exploring whatever piques my interest - hence this portfolio site where I'm building an interactive app-like experience with AI integrations and experimental features.
