Biography

I design how technology works. I love to create memorable experiences that extend beyond the browser. Lean thinking, customer experience and startups – I love this stuff.

Innovation starts with empathy.

Experience
Spook Studio
Co-founder & Digital Product D
At Spook Studio I'm Design Lead on all projects.

My role covers:
• Product development
• Interaction design
• Creative direction
• UX/IA
• Project management

Carlos and I set up Spook Studio 7 years ago as we'd become frustrated with how large agencies worked. With us you get large agency skills but without the silly bother.

Our approach is geared towards early-stage startups as we're flexible, responsive and agile. In this way we can add value by shaping the product & customer experience.

Our motto: Think Big. Start small.
