Creative technologist based in East London who gets excited about user experience, process, and social impact.

For the past 4 years I've run and led startups, helping to turn ideas into products that solve business problems and users' needs. I've won awards, pitched to royalty, and even been interviewed by Matt Baker. 😎

Less glamorously, I've managed teams of software developers, balanced stakeholder requirements with experience design, and got really geeky about agile processes.

In March 2016, I'll be joining the Government Digital Services.
