Global Design Director @ Fierce™, Fearless™

I’m an Industrial Designer turned UX Designer, turned Service Designer, turned (accidental) leader. 

Since moving into the digital space over a decade ago, I’ve seen the same patterns repeat: 
Design teams are being asked to deliver more impact and faster; but often without the levers to make it happen. 

Now as Managing Director at Fearless, I work with senior Design and business leaders to help navigate some of these challenges and embed Design as a genuine strategic capability. 

We help organisations: 

- Embed Service Design and DesignOps as a strategic capability
- Build and scale in-house design teams that deliver measurable business impact
- Design operating models that connect design, delivery and strategy
- Prove the value of Design through operational outcomes (as well as beautiful outputs!)

Our agency + talent services model blends the depth of a large consultancy with the agility of a boutique partner. 

We act as an extension of our clients’ teams - helping them move fast, think big and of course deliver meaningful change. 

If you’re navigating cost-cutting, change fatigue or the constant push to “do more with less,” you’re not alone. 

There are always smarter, lower-risk ways to build momentum (and Design can be the lever that gets you there). 

I’m always happy to share what’s working or swap notes with other leaders facing similar challenges; feel free to reach out.

Proud to lead a team that truly lives its name: authentically Fearless 😎
