Experience and skills

I was one of the first content designers employed by IBM Design, and have spent 15+ years building expertise across content design, UX design, and — more recently — AI tooling design. Over time I've progressed to broader roles, taking on UX responsibilities and working on IBM Software-wide projects.

I work highly collaboratively, typically alongside designers, researchers, product managers, and engineers — often with colleagues across the globe.

From 2025 onwards I've increasingly focused on AI-related projects and tools — identifying workflows where AI can bring the most benefit to users, and optimising content and design so that it works well for both humans and AI to find, scan, and understand. 🤖👨‍💻
