The Designer

Service Designer working at the intersection of complex organizations and the people they serve.

MA · Royal College of Art9 yrs · 4 countriesField · Systems · AI

I'm a Service Designer with an MA from the Royal College of Art. I work across the full arc of design — from field research and organizational diagnosis to system design, digital delivery and AI integration.

Over 9 years I've worked in corporations, startups and independently across hospitality, insurance, agritech and sustainability.

What stays consistent is a systemic approach: designing solutions that generate value across the full ecosystem — not just for the organization commissioning the work, but for the communities, users and environments involved.

I integrate AI tools naturally across the entire process — not as an add-on, but as a way to move faster, think more rigorously, and build things that actually work.

What I do

(03)
01

Research

I find what's really happening
FIELD RESEARCHETHNOGRAPHYSYSTEMIC DIAGNOSIS

I go where the problem lives before deciding what to design. Interviews, observation, stakeholder mapping — no assumptions, no shortcuts. The goal is to understand the system before touching it.

02

Design

I make complexity navigable
SYSTEMS MAPPINGCIRCULAR THINKINGSERVICE BLUEPRINTS

I translate messy reality into structures that make sense — for users, teams and organizations. Every solution is designed to generate value in loops, not just solve the immediate brief.

03

Delivery

I ensure it actually ships
AI INTEGRATIONEND-TO-END OWNERSHIPDIGITAL PRODUCTS

Strategy without execution is decoration. I stay through implementation — integrating AI tools naturally, bridging design and engineering, until the thing is live and working.
