Product Design Leader

As a Product Design Manager, I lead and grow high-performing design teams focused on delivering user-centered, high-impact experiences. I’m responsible for building team structure, hiring and onboarding, and evolving design processes across multiple product pillars. I collaborate closely with product, engineering, content, and research teams to ensure consistent, scalable design solutions. I partner with senior stakeholders to shape product direction, drive innovation, and bring design into early strategic thinking. Alongside our data and insights teams, I help identify and solve customer pain points, continuously improving the user experience. I’m also passionate about mentoring designers and fostering a strong, collaborative design culture.

In my role as a Senior Product Designer, I consistently delivered projects to a high and unwavering standard, ensuring a seamless and impactful user experience. Beyond design excellence, I played a crucial role in mentoring junior team members, providing guidance and fostering their growth. Actively sharing my industry knowledge, I contributed to a collaborative learning environment. Additionally, I collaborated with management to implement effective processes that streamlined workflows, ultimately benefiting both the team and the overall success of the business.

As a UX/UI designer at PlayStation, I was working alongside a small team in control of PlayStation.com as well as various other platforms. My main duty in this role was to offer solutions to products across the business. One prime example of this was following the User Centered Design process. This included journey maps, user requirements, wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, and UX specifications for development — ensuring products were intuitive and worked as intended.

Worked with a range of high-profile clients to design and deliver high-end digital experiences across web and mobile. Collaborated closely with product teams and developers to create user-centered solutions that aligned with brand goals, enhanced usability, and drove engagement.

At Dods I was part of a small design team where my work was split between design and development. On the larger projects I worked on I contributed by wire framing, creating drafts and finally designing full mockups. My responsibilities also included creating icons for web applications, producing animated web banners, designing & coding HTML emails then making sure they are browser and client compatible.

Whilst working as part of a small digital team, I would ensure websites for larger projects were built on a CMS (WordPress or Drupal) to allow the client to keep their site up-to date with ease. As well as this I had a variety of responsibilities including; building micro sites, landing pages and ensuring both were fully browser compatible. I also worked on Facebook pages which included using the Facebook api.
