Design Leadership & Product Strategy

Most product teams have more UX work than clarity. I bring a method to that. I define the right problems early, build systems that scale, and create the conditions for design decisions that hold up over time.

Where I Create Leverage

I work across product strategy, design systems, and team leadership. Not as separate disciplines but as one connected practice.

Product Strategy

Define product direction, prioritisation models, and measurable outcomes. Align UX with business goals.

How I Structure Product & Design

Design without structure creates noise. I build operating models that connect research, strategy, and delivery.

1

Strategy

Vision, prioritisation, measurable KPIs

2

System

Design tokens, documentation, governance, cross-market scaling

3

Delivery

Refinement, experimentation, measurable outcomes

Building Teams That Ship

I’ve led distributed teams across two locations with mixed seniority and parallel workstreams. I define standards, create clarity, and build the frameworks that let teams work without constant escalation. At Catena Media I introduced Figma, rebuilt the handover process, and developed a mobile-first, locale-optimised design system that became the foundation for 10+ websites across multiple markets. Teams ran on quarterly plans, bi-weekly critiques, and lead-owned execution. Decisions were made traceable through centralised documentation. Products consistently showed 4+ minute session times and strong returning user rates. Delivery speed and cross-functional communication improved across the board.

Senior design thinking, without the full-time hire

Senior design thinking, without the full-time hire

Alongside leadership roles, I occasionally take on a small number of engagements with founders and product teams facing real UX or systems challenges. Recent work includes a mobile-first redesign for an engineering-led SaaS platform, full product and design system work for a B2B startup from zero to MVP, and ongoing UX work across web products for a repeat client partner.
