Ciao
I own the customer experience transformation.
Call me when broken CX is slowing growth.
Or when a new category needs building for incremental revenue.
I repair or build the design operating logic and hand it over. The mandate ends when the organisation can run it without me.
Fixed-term or programme-level mandates.
Measured in delivery and commercial outcomes.
Design is my operating logic in undefined problem spaces and across the full experience lifecycle. It shapes how I read a business problem and how I structure a human-centred response: treating brand assets, customer reality, and service delivery as one connected system.
I use AI as a strategic design capability and an emerging entity within experiences: one that requires the same intentional design and governance as any other part of the system.
London-based, open to relocation, UK, Italy, and EMEA mandates. I travel. No relocation fee. Full work rights, no sponsorship required.
Career Path
A designer and design leader, my background runs from brand and visual communication into customer experience, digital product, and service design.
An intentional progression, built to read business challenges at every level they operate.

When to call me
Creating new category journeys for incremental revenue. No playbook exists. I write it, from insight to implementation, turning a concept into a market-ready product, service, or programme.
Scaling brands to experiences that connect and convert. When brand, customer reality, and service delivery are disconnected, they generate fragmented outcomes. I close that gap across channels and teams.
Fixing CX that breaks loyalty and slows growth. When journeys are siloed, metrics duplicated, and customers feel the incoherence without being able to name it. I map the system and fix it structurally, not cosmetically.
Where I work
Product and Services: the touchpoint. Where the problem space is defined and insight surfaces what is worth building. The core question is feasibility: what is technically possible, usable, and worth building.
Experience: the journey. How touchpoints connect over time and across channels. Where trust builds or breaks. The core question is desirability: what people actually need, want, and find meaningful.
System: the operating model. Governance, roles, rituals, tools. The backstage that makes the brand promise credible and the journey consistent at scale. The core question is viability: what the business can sustain, resource, and grow from.
My approach is human-centred design.
Problem: identify people’s real needs and expectations rather than making assumptions about what they are.
Solution: design and test experiences that people value, solving the prioritised problems.
Implementation: make the experiences scalable, reliable, better over time, and linked to commercial outcomes.
What I bring
CX Customer Experience: Journey orchestration, proposition development, loyalty and retention.
EX Employee Experience: Frontline and internal journey design, colleague-facing systems.
Service Design: End-to-end service architecture, blueprinting, operational flows, compliance and delivery logic.
Design-Led Operating Model: Governance design, delivery infrastructure, and cross-team standards built to run without external dependency.
AI Artificial Intelligence: I use AI as a strategic design capability and an emerging entity within experiences: one that requires the same intentional design and governance as any other part of the system.
Design Leadership: Building design functions and embedding design maturity across organisations.
