If you'd like to chat or learn more about me, then I'd like that too.
The musical me
I used to be in a band many (many) years ago. I'd say we were a mix of Blur, Kinks and AC/DC - quite the cocktail!
I find music really is the soundtrack of my life, from KISS to Phillip Glass - right through to Howard Shore soundtracks and German electronica.
The claim to fame me
Christopher Lee once presented me with a plastic Oscar in LA. Honest! He's also one of my favourite actors and narrates a mean Bram Stokers Dracula on Spotify.
Also, I won backstage passes to meet my heroes... KISS. Such an amazing experience and something that I'll always treasure.
The eternal student me
I’m addicted to learning. From Udemy to Service Design Methodology books, IDEO AI courses, right through to learning to construct fences and design built-in wardrobes.
I’m always up for the challenge, and with the world constantly changing, you need to keep on adapting to keep up and take part.
If Google
sent you here looking for 'Steven Seagal', then you're moments away from disappointment...
The career me
I’ve had a varied journey to arrive here today. I was originally a photographer and videographer managing P&O cruise ships around the globe, then went to Edinburgh to study Graphic Design.
Fast forward to now and I'm a CX lead, totally obsessed with understanding behavioural science and delighting users with amazing products and services - all my roles have helped me get here.

The arty me
I’ve always loved art - even studied it. I've been lucky enough to visit many of the greatest art galleries in the world, but I can’t paint for toffee.
I do however have memberships to Tate, V&A and the Design Museum which keeps me connected. I also sketch a lot in my work, rest and play, it helps me 'see' the bigger picture, it also has a certain mindful and meditative quality about it.
The entrepreneur me
I created a small business a few years ago collecting and selling beautiful vintage posters. I did this in a variety of ways - but it became difficult to source items at a good price post-Brexit.
I'm also looking at the possibility of selling my art and doodles in some format one day soon. I'm looking forward to this part of the journey and hope to start this year.
