About me

I am a user experience (UX) consultant who specialises in user experience research, strategy and design. I believe that employing the principles of human-centred design allows us to both answer business needs and ensure sustainability for companies, but also enhance the lives of our customers by putting them at the centre when crafting engaging products and services. I have worked in a number of industries from travel to banking to social media and telecoms for clients such as Sun International, Facebook, Vodafone, Investec, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Google. I have also lead research teams in 4 African countries.
