Head of Design at BT

Since being promoted to Head of Design I have built and led a number of design teams across various tribes (each team a combination of both Product and Content Designers) ranging from 4 people to 30 across both BT Consumer (B2C) and, most recently, BT Enterprise (B2B).

I try and lead my teams with context, empathy, clean language and radical candour to build an environment that is fun, ambitious and psychologically safe for my team to express themselves creatively and try new ideas that help us achieve our organisational and customer goals.

During my time as Head of Design, I have also been selected for BT's high-performer (HIPO) talent program which helps accelerate career growth into Director level roles through key skill development workshops and training, exec level mentorship and access to bespoke networking events.

Senior Product Design Manager at BT

Led a team of 12 product designers to create exceptional digital experiences for our customers meeting their needs through human-centred product design, content design, user research & strategy in a fast-paced, complex, agile environment.

I led complete re-designs of our flagship alliances to become more user-centred whilst managing budgets of £20m+, empowering squads to re-invent our checkout experience that delivered an increase of 167% conversion (WoW) and coached countless different teams and departments in design thinking methodologies.

All, whilst working remotely!
