About

Design has evolved from crafting interfaces
to shaping intelligence.


I'm driven by curiosity, data, and purpose, blending human empathy with the power of AI to design experiences people love and businesses value. My focus is on driving that shift: where AI and human insight work together to deliver a measurable impact.

With over two decades of experience, I've helped global organisations, from startups to Fortune 500s, transform through human-centred design, data-led decisions, and technology innovation. Today, I lead UX Design teams at Publicis Sapient that craft meaningful digital transformations across industries for our global clients.

As the Founder of RethinkingUX, I actively shape the industry's talent pipeline. Beyond my day-to-day role, I lead strategic initiatives to elevate the craft, business acumen, and leadership capabilities of the next generation of designers.

Building at the
edge of AI & Design

A collection of tools, frameworks, and open resources I've built for the design and AI community.

The Future of UX Design is AI-Native

The New Design Frontier is the essential white paper for design leaders who need more than intuition to navigate today's AI disruption. Backed by data and dozens of industry surveys, this 17-minute read cuts through the hype to deliver a clear-eyed picture of where the $29.6 billion AI design tool market is headed, how top teams are achieving 3.7x ROI, and why 59% of designers are already using AI daily, yet only 20% are truly AI-native. Whether you're managing a team of five or five hundred, this paper gives you the frameworks, the roadmap, and the confidence to lead your organization from AI-curious to AI-ready. Stop reacting to change. Start shaping it.

The AI Playbook
Guide

The AI Playbook

A practical, no-hype guide for professionals and leaders ready to make AI work for them. Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept; it's a present-day productivity tool, and the gap between those who use it well and those who don't is widening fast. The AI Playbook is my attempt to close that gap. Made for professionals, leaders, and curious minds who want real results without the jargon, this guide walks you through everything from understanding how large language models actually work.
