My approach

I help deliver better digital products by understanding the needs of the people who will use them, and the goals of the businesses making them.

I favour Lean/Agile practice when the conditions are right, but have effectively delivered projects with varied methodologies.

I make sure my approach is relevant for your organisation, its team, and the product vision.
