About

I build systems that help people do complex work well.

Learning innovation specialist. AI product designer. Practitioner, not consultant. The through-line is one question: how do we help people do genuinely difficult things, while they are inside them?

Bio

I started in classrooms, moved into content, then into workplace learning. Somewhere around 2019 it became clear that the thing I cared about was not training. It was people doing difficult work — and how to make that work clearer while they were inside it.

Since then the practice has widened into product strategy, UX research, service design, data, and AI product design. What looks like sprawl is one vertical — learning innovation — with the tools it takes to deliver it honestly. The projects in front of me are rarely labelled as learning problems. They are operational problems that training never reaches.

I build things as the main way I think. I write to work out what I believe. I work with organisations that want to take the people doing the work seriously.

The journey

How the practice got here.

2012 – 14

Classroom & content

Teaching, then writing curriculum. Learning what worked and what did not when people had to apply it on Monday morning.

2014 – 18

Into workplace learning

L&D teams at two fast-growing organisations. First real encounter with the gap between training and performance.

2018 – 21

Performance support

Shifted practice from courses to workflow-embedded guidance. The frame that still anchors the work.

2021 – 24

Product & UX

Became a product designer who happens to specialise in learning. Picked up service design, data, and the full product discipline.

2024 – now

AI & learning innovation

Designing AI-assisted coaches, grounded generation systems, and the next generation of in-workflow tools.

The T

Deep one place, broad everywhere else.

Deep — vertical

Learning Innovation

The home discipline. Instructional design, performance support, workflow coaching, behaviour change, AI-assisted learning.
