I started out designing interiors at the Glasgow School of Art (SIT), where every brief came down to the same two questions: how does someone move through this, and how do they feel once they’re inside it? I still ask those two questions. The surfaces just got smaller.

That’s been the through-line across healthcare, dental-tech, and government — complex systems, high stakes, and people who have no patience for learning my interface. I care most about the parts that never make it into a demo: the edge cases, the error states, the second visit.

Lately most of my energy has gone into learning to ship with AI, not just design with it. That means writing the groundwork it runs on — a design.md, a design knowledge base, standards an agent can actually follow — and then vibe coding this site myself, design through front-end. Speed is the easy part to get excited about. Whether the thing still holds up as an experience is the part I actually care about.

Outside of work, I love to travel. It’s how I fill back up when there’s nothing left in me. Not with ideas — with the energy to try again.
