Lead Designer at MixcloudLondon, United Kingdom
About me
I have spent over 12 years working in design for a varied range of agencies and start ups, getting the chance to work with and learn from some of the best in the industry. I have led the design of large-scale platforms for clients such as The National Trust and Tesco as well as starting a Product team for Boiler Room from scratch and leading design and UX at Mixcloud. The mix of approaches I have had to take working as Design Director at a global agency along with the more Product-focussed way of working in-house has given me the experience needed to create truly engaging products.

    I am currently working as the Lead Designer at Mixcloud. I have worked across a number of key initiatives such as our creator-to-fan subscription service as well as our shift towards live streaming (released at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic).

    London, United KingdomFull Time
    I have spent just over 2 years helping to transform Boiler Room into a Product-focussed business, building up an entire Product team of Designers, Developers and Product Managers. My responsibilities have ranged from leading the wider strategy of the company alongside other senior stakeholders, to managing a team of UX Designers and setting the design principles and processes that we work to on a daily basis. I have been responsible for facilitating design and research processes that have allowed the team to create truly user-focussed products that benefit from Lean methodologies and clearly defined objectives. As well as managing Boiler Room's multi-platform experience, I have helped to develop experiences for our commercial partners such as Ray-Ban, Ballantine's Whiskey, The Barbican, The Guardian, The British Council, Adidas and more.
