Leading and coaching teams with a people first approach
About me
I've had the pleasure of working with known names like IBM and Kingfisher, as well as some exciting smaller players like Igloo Energy and Ordnance Survey.
Over the past four years, I've been leading and managing teams, whilst still getting my hands on in the design process. I've led large projects and smaller iterative ones during my time as a lead, guiding projects from conception to launch. I have enjoyed mentoring and coaching, it’s incredibly rewarding about seeing a project come to life and watching the team grow and develop.
I take pride in my ability to navigate the complexities of projects bringing ideas to life and shaping concepts into realities.
Values
I take a people first approach and value authenticity; empowering others, encouraging active collaboration and being yourself. Creating an environment where each individual can achieve their goals and be proud of the impact they make.
My journey is characterised by a the pursuit to be a great design lead and example of a modern people leader to enable others to deliver excellent results
