About Me

I am currently a Product Designer at British Airways working within BA’s retail community on CMS. Designing accessible and beautiful products that help people plan and book travel.

Before BA, I designed experiences for millions of weekly users as part of The Independent’s product team.



I work end-to-end, from research and problem validation through to visual design and high fidelity prototyping. I am passion-driven and creative but also very methodical. This allows me to take a grounded and rational approach to solving complex problems creatively and intuitively.
