A bit about me

Designer with 15 years of experience, turning complex ideas into clear and engaging visuals. I specialise in information, graphic and system design, combining creativity and strategy to build distinctive brands and scalable design systems. I’m currently the Lead Designer at a market research and AI technology company, where I helped shape the brand identity and developed its design systems from the ground up during the past 6 years. Throughout my career, I have worked directly with leading, global clients in parallel with other internal stakeholders in order to produce work I wanted to be proud of.

My passion for design began I believe at the age of 12, and that spark still drives me to explore, create, and lead by example with a hands-on approach. Outside of work, I’m a dad, a food aficionado, an astronomy enthusiast, who’s always powered by curiosity and a good tune. I live in London, with my wife, daughter and 2 cats.

I have directly and indirectly managed designers and helped them grow Earlier this year, I was recognised as a top performer for my significant contribution to our latest rebrand. I have designed and maintained the core design systems and tokens used daily across by the design team along the rest of the organisation and helped establish processes that make our design studio more efficient and productive.

Infogr8 (Information design agency) 2012 – 2014

Began as an intern and was later offered a full-time position as an Information Designer, where I worked for almost three years. The agency operated at an exceptionally fast pace, delivering complex and high-impact projects across diverse sectors, from space technology to advertising and sports. I collaborated directly with major clients including Sony, UEFA, and Time Out magazine. One of my projects was featured in Photoshop Creative magazine. Working within a small, agile team required me to take on significant responsibility and adapt quickly, often wearing multiple hats to meet demanding deadlines.
