About me
As an entrepreneur and industrial designer, I bring a unique perspective to every project I tackle. My journey with extreme dyslexia has given me an invaluable insight into how people interact with products and services, especially when they don't fit the conventional mould. This perspective drives my passion for creating solutions that work for everyone, not just the majority.
My foundation in Industrial Design and Technology from Brunel University (First Class Honours) combines with years of hands-on entrepreneurial experience to create a distinctive approach to problem-solving. I've navigated the full spectrum of startup experiences – from successful fundraising and scaling, to the valuable lessons learned from ventures that didn't quite make it. Each experience has added to my toolkit: designing the product, product-market fit optimization, engagement funnel development, full-stack application architecture, and the intricate dance of negotiations and finance.
What sets me apart is my maker's mindset. Whether I'm architecting digital products, crafting furniture, or tinkering with electronics, I'm driven by the urge to create and innovate. This hands-on approach extends beyond solo work – I'm a firm believer in the power of collaborative innovation. My leadership style is decisive yet inclusive, recognising that the best solutions emerge when diverse perspectives converge.
I thrive on building bridges between vision and execution, whether that's working with investors to align on strategy, collaborating with co-founders to shape product direction, or engaging directly with customers to understand their deepest needs. My communication style is direct and empathetic, shaped by my own experiences navigating challenges that others might take for granted.
For me, every obstacle is an opportunity to innovate, every setback a chance to learn, and every success a stepping stone to greater challenges. I'm always eager to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, potential partners, and anyone passionate about creating meaningful impact through technology and design.
