About

⚡️ Short: 8+ years designing digital products that impact millions of users, from BBC’s world-renowned news platforms, to enterprise travel solutions for Booking Holdings, the largest OTA globally. Proven track record in complex international organizations. 📕 Long: As a Product Design Lead at Rocket Travel by Agoda, I lead the design of white label travel portals for major global banks and airlines. This forms a key part of Booking Holdings' B2B strategy. Previously, I spent 6 years as a UX Designer at the BBC, the world's largest public broadcaster. Successful designs shipped include the World Service homepage reaching 40m+ users across 42 languages, and video streaming features used by 13m+ users. In addition to my professional experience, I hold an MA (Distinction) in Experience Design. I am passionate about design education and hold a part-time role as an academic supervisor at the creative business school, Hyper Island. I also enjoy writing and speaking about design. I have contributed numerous articles to the BBC GEL platform, as well as representing the BBC design team at international conferences.
