Partnered with global brands including Dyson, HSBC, GSK & Accenture to design and transform customer and employee experiences at scale.

I design connected experiences the systems, journeys, and mechanisms that shape how customers and employees feel, behave, and stay loyal. My work blends experience strategy, service design, innovation, and transformation, bridging the worlds of customer and employee experience into one coherent operating model.

Across 15+ years, I’ve partnered with global brands including Dyson, HSBC, GSK, O2 Telefónica and Accenture, leading work that reimagined journeys, redesigned services, and built new experience-led ways of working. My sweet spot is solving fragmentation: connecting frontstage and backstage, culture and customer promise, digital and human touchpoints.

I’ve redesigned Dyson’s global EVP and experience system; built innovation incubators at HSBC and GSK; and helped O2 Telefónica become both #1 in mobile customer satisfaction and a Great Place to Work, proving that customer and employee experience rise together when the system behind them is coherent. I’ve led cross-functional journey redesign, prototyped new service experiences, shaped new operating models, and built capability programmes that shift teams from project thinking to experience-led delivery.

Organisations bring me in when they want to break out of service sameness, design experiences people actually feel, and turn strategy into something tangible. My approach is direct and practical: I challenge assumptions, connect the dots others miss, and help teams design experiences that move metrics and meaning.

What drives me is simple: building experiences with coherence where brand, behaviour, and experience finally align, and where the people using the system can feel the difference.

I rarely do a shoutout, but when I do... they get a picture and everything!!!

Three people who've genuinely made a difference lately be it in my timeline, or in the DMs or virtual coffees:

Daniel Bustamante 🥷🏻  
If you're building a newsletter his AI newsletter is pure gold. Every post is packed with actionable tips and an AI prompt you can actually use. No fluff, just value

Zoe Scaman 
In a world obsessed with keep it short, Zoe writes long form and absolutely smashes it, She breaks every rule about typical newsletter writing, and honestly, That's the reason I love it. Her writing is raw, real, and I've learned something from every single post. Proof that authenticity beats algorithm shout out to Ed for helping me reconnect with Zoe's work

Ed Mehmed 
The critical friend and sparring partner everyone needs, when my confidence hit a wall, or I am second guessing my thinking. Ed was there with the right perspective and the push forward I need be it on a virtual call or just in the DMs. If growth strategy is your world, seriously pay for his brain. Worth every penny.

Connect with them, follow them they will make your feed x10 better!

6 leaders, 5 completely different problems, All walked out a little clearer just from a coffee, a critical friend and some lived experience

Last week, I tried something simple.
I opened up Office Hours no slides, no prep, just me in a coffee shop with a spare chair…and my iPad and people showed up.

Leaders from all walk of life from Standard Chartered, Atlantis Resorts, Majid Al Futtaim, and a couple of scale-ups came with unique puzzles to crack from 

We covered

• New value proposition design
• Moving from HR to People experience and product 
• How to do continuous discovery and listening 
• Experience Strategy design

So am doing it again

I’ll be in a coffee shop on Tuesday and Friday and opening up a few more spots.

If you want a critical friend on your challenge, let me know in the comment and I’ll send over the link and location

PS....still no free coffee.

These are the same tactics behind millions in innovation, transformation, and CX wins at global companies.

These are the plays behind multi-million pound shifts in innovation, CX, and people and culture.

I’ve built a new writing habit, it’s pretty simple and one that helps me get through my writing blockers.
Here’s how you can use it 


𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 
One thats built on my manifesto, Obsidian notes, content and articles I’ve written and also lots of content I am yet to share yet on Design Thinking, Experience Design, CX, EX, Tourism and Destination Design.

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝟳𝟬%
I share with the agent an article I am writing for my newsletter, usually by this point i've already written around 70% This could be a pattern i've observed, a gap, an approach or a POV

𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮'𝘀
Next, I slip on these Ray-Ban  Meta  glasses and go for a walk, I fire up my ChatGPT agent in voice mode and then ask it to interview me as if am on a podcast. I then force it to ask me about the details, why it matters and anything am avoiding saying.


....Then I walk, until I feel I've been grilled enough 


Sometimes it’s around the block other times it walking past places like the Museum of the Future.

Honestly for a dyslexic it removes so much friction in the writing  process for me

Getting the steps in while you thinking and talking free up the mind and gives space for your ideas to breathe, something you cant always get sitting behind a desk.


While the Meta glasses are new the approach isn't 

I have always found value in a walk approach be its when leading teams in 121s, coaching conversations or brainstorming a challenge   everything always feels easier when you have fresh air

Give it a go, get outside and get some steps into your next challenge 121 or article can’t crack a challenge or a puzzle get outside 

(also if you live in Dubai, you have no excuses we have nice weather and even nicer things to look at)

No alternative text description for this image

The minutes at the end decide everything 
The ending decides the story they share
That story becomes the verdict

Many organisations overcook the time spent designing the start and middle of the journey, But then undercook how they say goodbye often missing the simple fact people don’t leave with the journey they leave with the ending

That feeling is 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗲.

It’s the aftertaste that forms the memory, and shapes the story they tell others

Did it 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 or transactional 
Did they 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗱 or processed 
Would they 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 again
Would they avoid you at all costs.

This Emotional Residue isn’t neutral it an 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 or an emotional scar

Bad ending cause 91% of customer to avoid repeat business 

Customers with awesome endings, spend 140% more post experience 

A great goodbye makes 45% more ex employees refer others 

So if you want loyalty, referrals, return visits don’t just end the
experience design it, give it the care and attention it’s needs
Make the 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳, 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆, 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲

Sheep follow best practice and give people an average and forgettable exit. 

Your goal is to be 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗮, guide the ending make it smooth frictionless and memorable. 

Sherpas create ending that feels personal  and something you will recall in years to come 

My friend still remembers their Sherpas name from ten years ago when they claimed Everest… there a reason for that.

See the 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀

Got a great goodbye or a horrific one let me know in the comments

Coffee Hours Update:

I have had a few folk cancel for coffee hours tomorrow so if you want to jam on a puzzle or challenge your working on drop me a DM and ill share the cal link with you 

Here's what I can help with:

I've spent 15 year helping organizations design the future of work, new customer journeys and HR transformations so I have stories and learning to share

If you're working on something in this space, let's grab a coffee .

Ps your definitely buy your own coffee though

If they wouldn’t kill your best idea… don’t work with them.

Let me explain 


The beer test is real and it’s one of the secrets to getting the right, people and the right strategy 

Most people ask boring questions.

Use these when hiring, partnering or building your core strategy team as a good gut check

They’ll save you months of wasted time and thousands in bad decisions.


𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿-𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿-𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗱𝗼𝗲𝗿? 
In other words, do they just come up with ideas and talk about them, or do they actually roll up their sleeves and put those ideas into action? Are industry is full of thinkers who have never actually done the thing, they have no actually real boots on the group experience of implementing their new approach, framework or strategy, You want someone who’s a deep thinker but can also execute in the real world.


𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺? 
It’s a great personal litmus test, If you’d enjoy hanging out casually, you’ll probably enjoy working together too. A lot of my best relationship with clients and stakeholders I also enjoy having a coffee or beer with. At the end of the day a good relationship is when both side can bring their full self to the table professional and personal.


𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗗𝗼𝗴? 
If you’d hand them the leash to your most beloved pet, that’s a huge sign of trust, it means you believe in their responsibility and care.


𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗳 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱? 
The butterfly is your idea. The thing you’re emotionally attached to. This is the critical-friend test. Can they kill that idea early if it doesn’t make sense, is flawed, or is simply dumb? Too many bad ideas make it into the world because no one was willing to kill the butterfly when it mattered usually because it belonged to a friend. If they can’t challenge your ideas, they’ll protect your ego instead of the outcome.

What your most unconventional question?

Let me know down below, am a geek and love collecting questions
