About me
I help businesses deliver high quality digital products and services quickly. I am a digital producer with over 15 years experience as a product manager, project manager, delivery director and consultant in digital marketing, digital product development and innovation. I have delivered over 100 digital projects ranging from premium digital brand experiences through to innovative digitally powered startup products. I have also launched 2 of my own businesses and taken 3 digital products to market as well as coaching several startups to do the same. I manage, build and direct teams running projects in house and remotely. As founder of production company, Ideas Made, I take on challenging digital production briefs across mobile, web and IoT sectors specialising in lean and fast product design at 40% less cost than London agencies. I specialise in designing strategic product roadmaps to validate ideas from concept to prototype to MVP. Contact me if you need help managing a digital project, getting an idea off the ground, finding a team or just need some advice.
