As an individual
I'm on a mission to do some #GoodWithDesign.

I work in a plainspoken and accessible way to help people engage in global products, services and debates.

I use icons and pictograms to cut through the fluff.

And approach everything I produce with equality, diversity and inclusivity front of mind.

(I am also known for a methodical and meticulous approach to my craft).

Let's discuss.
