Me

My Professional Skills

User advocate and product manager. I decide what to implement next and when to release it by leveraging user needs, business objectives, technical bandwidth and the product strategy. If the product reaches the user and something does not work, then it is my responsibility. If it provides a great user experience, then it is thanks to the teamwork of the business, QA, developers, designers and researchers.

  • 🧭 Fan of User Story Maps.
  • 👨‍💻 Creator of the UX Therapy Workbook.
  • 🧑‍🎓 Former Academic on UX & Games.
  • 🧖 Keen to use emojis in my lists.

Helping teams deliver digital products fit for humans since 2003.
