With 16+ years of experience leading digital and e-commerce projects, I’ve worked with leading brands like Sky, Dune, HBO, Majestic Athletic, Sport England, and Loqate (GBG), delivering innovative solutions that drive growth and enhance user experiences.

At Factory Pattern, I’ve partnered with national and international clients on challenging digital projects, helping businesses transform their online presence and achieve measurable results.

My strengths lie in creative problem-solving, active listening, and connecting the dots to deliver impactful strategies that align with both user needs and business goals. Whether refining user journeys, optimising conversions, or delivering scalable e-commerce solutions, I bring big-picture thinking with meticulous attention to detail.

Wave goodbye to techno babble – it’s not in our dictionary of digital design and marketing.

We prefer to chat to our clients over a good cup of coffee using everyday language, rather than trying to bamboozle you with our knowledge of technical terms.

I help businesses of all sizes understand why traffic to their website isn't doing what they want them to do (buy things or become leads). I untangle digital messes and help drive better website traffic and convert that traffic into loyal customers. But how? 🤔

Since 2008, I've worked with over 250 businesses to help them:
🔎 Discover where users are dropping off their website
✔️ Bring clarity by doing user research to understand why their users aren't taking action
💪 Optimise and test their websites to make them more engaging to users

In order to:
👉 Improve their digital experience
📈 Increase revenue from users on their websites
🤝 Develop a digital strategy that drives engaged traffic, leading to long-term growth
