Guiding a venture studio to elevate early stage products through structured design leadership.

As Chief Design Officer I strengthened design practice, helping teams move from loose ideas to defined propositions shaped through clearer reasoning and more confident early direction that supported meaningful progress.

Clarifying Early Product Thinking
I introduced ways to investigate ideas, define value, and shape problem spaces so intent became visible before build. Concepts that once sat in decks turned into structured paths teams could test, debate, and develop with greater confidence and clarity.
Improving How Ideas Took Shape
Work often arrived ambitious but undefined. I helped translate rough intentions into practical expressions that showed how a product might function, giving founders a grounded understanding of purpose and allowing teams to make steady, informed decisions.
Establishing Tools and Standards
I created systems, templates, and shared principles that removed debate about basics. These assets supported consistent decisions, freeing teams to focus on behaviour, clarity, and usefulness rather than rebuilding foundations on every new engagement.
Producing Clearer Outputs
Concepts became easier to explain, test, and refine. Teams delivered early stage work with stronger reasoning and sharper direction, providing founders with material that carried intent and helped initiatives progress with greater stability and purpose.
Problem Solving Workshops
Structured workshops helped founders turn early ideas into defined product direction. Each session explored the problem, shaped potential solutions, and tested assumptions, reducing uncertainty and accelerating the start of product development.
MO_DS
A modular design system unified teams by replacing subjective decisions with scalable patterns. Components and foundations reduced rework, improved consistency, and ensured products could evolve without revisiting core design decisions each time.
MO_OS
A company wide operating model clarified roles, improved collaboration, and strengthened consistency across delivery. Defined processes reduced friction, surfaced issues earlier, and brought better alignment across design, engineering, and product teams.
MO_Pro
A structured training programme aligned teams around shared principles across design, engineering, and business. It improved cross functional understanding and enabled clearer, more confident decision making across every venture.
Branding
A refreshed identity introduced a new logo, expanded palette, and flexible brand system that worked across all communication. This gave the studio a more coherent presence both internally and externally as its portfolio and team continued to grow.
