Why do we continue to silo branding + creative direction + product design + strategy?

Companies have struggled to adapt to the shift toward digital-first products. The temptation is still strong to design the brand, the product, and the strategy in isolation—because they’re still seen as separate skillsets.

But what if they don’t have to be…

I operate at the intersection of brand, product design, creative direction, and strategy. Drawing on my experience working at:

2021–2025 Design Lead In-house

Laka started an insurance revolution. I joined as a foundational designer, helping build the product behind their seven-time ‘Best Cycle Insurance Provider’ award.

2019–2021 Lead Designer In-house

At British Telecom, I oversaw the introduction of a new brand—writing the digital design language and working with a team of ~15 designers to roll it out across all B2B platforms.

2018–2019 Lead Designer In-house (Contract)

Design lead on the Thomson Reuters design system, working in-house to shape a scalable, consistent experience across products.

2017–2018 Senior UX and UI Designer Agency

Nimbletank, a leading product design agency, working with clients including Microsoft, The Royal Mint, and Santander Consumer Finance.
