Design Leader · Conference Speaker · Founder
At Capgemini I lead design—growing UX teams, setting experience standards across complex enterprise programmes, and helping clients in financial services, government, and critical national infrastructure get design right at scale. That depth of practice is what I bring to consulting and advisory work.
Alongside that: apps reaching 48 million people, conference papers on AI and cultural heritage, writing published by Towards AI and the British Psychological Society, and a habit of founding communities and platforms that outlast everything else.

An open-source platform that gives any walkable place its own location-aware app—a heritage trail, an arts walk, a pub crawl. Built on Vue 3, Supabase and Leaflet. EU-hosted, no API key billing. Currently live as the Tollesbury Arts Trail and LGBT Heritage App.
Available for keynotes, panels and workshops on enterprise UX at scale, AI ethics and design accountability, and building digital products without a team or budget.
I started in design as an art director at Chronos Publishing—publishers of the Pink Paper and Boyz—before the web existed as a profession. Sailor. Choir singer. Painter and photographer. Founder and chair of London’s bid to host the Gay Games at the Olympic Park. Founder of the London Raiders softball club (one of the largest in the world), Sport London, the London Gay Bikers, and the UK LGBT Archive. The through-line is the same as the work: bring people together, and make things that outlast you. Photography stocked on Alamy, Adobe Stock and Getty. Paintings and other work on Instagram.
