About me
I am a design leader and strategist, working with leadership teams at design agencies and other creative organisations. Together we make sure businesses evolve, stay relevant and grow their reach.
I combine human experience and insight with AI efficiencies and workflows. It's a powerful combination. You can work with me on a project, interim or permanent basis.
The benefits to my clients are clear:
- New value propositions and ways-of-working are born out of the agent-based workflows we build
- Custom AI agent building and model training become part of the strategic design toolbox
- Alternative insights and futures research lead to better-informed decision making
- The right talent is attracted or found, hired and proactively evolve culture and operations
- Entry in to leading commercial markets Singapore, Japan, Northern Europe and US
How we get there:
- Evolving creative teams into strategic, AI-native, commercially strong and contemporary design organisations
- Refocusing on values and outcomes as deliverables, and offering clients the toolchains and models that make it possible
- Bringing foresight into modelling and strategic design processes
- Identifying top talent in unexpected places
- Global experience and network eases entry into sought-after markets
