Speaking

Sessions your team still uses on Monday.

I’ve been teaching product design since 2021, most of it to rooms of people who had every reason to be sceptical. Everything I talk about comes from work that shipped, which means there’s always a real example and usually a mistake I made getting there.

What I talk about.

Structure before screens

Why products break at scale, and how object mapping catches it before a single wireframe exists.

Designing for compliance without designing a maze

KYC, verification and regulated flows that people actually complete.

What designers should do about AI

Execution got cheap. Judgement didn't. What that means for how you work and how you get hired.

Design systems that survive contact with engineering

Why most systems drift within a year, and what holds them together.

Treating WordPress like a product

For teams stuck between a marketing site and a real platform.

If you need something adjacent to these, ask. I’d rather build a talk around your audience than deliver one that nearly fits.

Formats

However you need it run.

  • Conference talk

    25–45 minutes, with or without Q&A.

    Happy to be the one who disagrees.
