A London-based florist with a strong walk-in trade and a loyal local following had built an online store but was seeing heavy traffic and weak conversion. Seasonal campaigns were driving visits. Almost none of them were turning into orders. The founder assumed the problem was pricing. It was not.
Started with the data before touching the product. Analysed session recordings, drop-off points, and checkout abandonment rates to build a clear picture of where and why users were leaving. Three issues surfaced immediately: delivery date clarity was buried, product photography was inconsistent across categories, and the checkout asked for account creation before purchase.
Ran lightweight user interviews with eight existing customers and four who had abandoned at checkout. The recurring theme was trust. Buying flowers online is time-sensitive and emotionally loaded. Users needed to feel certain the order would arrive right before they committed.
Redesigned the purchase flow around delivery confidence. Moved the date selector to the product page rather than checkout. Introduced a prominent same-day and next-day delivery indicator tied to a postcode check. Removed the forced account creation step entirely. Worked with the founder to reshoot the top twenty product lines with consistent natural light photography.
Conversion rate improved by 18% over the following two months. Checkout abandonment fell noticeably, particularly on mobile. Average order value edged up as clearer basket-stage prompts made upselling feel helpful rather than pushy.

A seed-stage startup with hardware backing and a founding team of engineers had a working EV charger and no clarity on who their first customer actually was. They were simultaneously pitching fleet operators, residential developers, and retail car parks. Three different buyers, three different problems, one under-resourced team.
Ran a focused discovery sprint across six weeks. Conducted structured interviews with fifteen prospective customers across the three segments to separate genuine demand signals from polite interest. Mapped each segment against willingness to pay, sales cycle length, integration complexity, and the team's realistic ability to serve them at stage. Introduced a basic assumption log to force the founding team to distinguish what they knew from what they believed.
From the research, one segment emerged clearly: commercial fleet operators with fixed depot locations. Predictable charging patterns, bulk contract potential, and a willingness to pay for reliability data over raw charging speed. The other two segments were deprioritised for the first eighteen months.
Translated findings into a lean product brief covering must-have features for the fleet use case, a positioning framework for early sales conversations, and a three-stage roadmap from pilot to commercial rollout.
Founding team entered their Series A process with a defined ICP, a single validated use case, and two signed pilot agreements with regional fleet operators. Product scope reduced by 40% against the original build plan, cutting estimated time to pilot by ten weeks.
Early-stage engagement. Client details withheld under confidentiality agreement.
A national healthcare provider's digital product was generating traffic but converting poorly. The gap between user intent and product response was costing the business measurable commercial opportunity.
Ran structured discovery across the consumer journey to identify drop-off points. Worked with design and commercial stakeholders to realign the digital experience with user intent at each stage. Introduced a prioritisation framework that balanced short-term commercial targets with longer-term product quality, keeping both teams aligned without sacrificing either.
8% uplift in sales directly linked to the redesigned digital journey. Stakeholder alignment improved enough to reduce time-in-review on new features by several weeks per cycle.

A new UK fashion brand was entering the market with minimal creative assets, no social presence, and no established route to customers. The founding team had strong product instincts but no brand infrastructure, no content strategy, and no framework for turning a TikTok audience into paying customers. They needed to go from nothing to a credible, commercially active brand. Fast.
Started by establishing the brand foundations. Worked with the team to define positioning, visual identity, and tone of voice from the ground up. The existing logo was refreshed and creative assets were built to a standard that could perform in a fast-moving social environment.
Developed a content strategy built specifically around TikTok's commerce mechanics. Rather than chasing reach for its own sake, the strategy was designed to convert, using live shopping as the primary sales channel and product listings optimised to reduce friction at the point of purchase. Content pillars were structured around trend responsiveness and product storytelling, giving the team a repeatable system rather than a one-off campaign.
Set up the TikTok Shop infrastructure end-to-end: storefront, product catalogue, live shopping workflows, and the operational processes to keep it running consistently. Coached the team on how to show up credibly on camera and how to leverage TikTok's algorithm in the early growth phase.
Revenue projections met within three months of launch, driven by engagement and order volume through the TikTok Shop. The brand moved from zero presence to an active, revenue-generating social commerce operation, with a content and live shopping system the team could own and scale independently.

Deep expertise in the areas that make or break digital products. No generalist playbooks, just the right skill at the right stage.
I own the product function end-to-end. Strategy, prioritisation, stakeholder alignment, and delivery. You get a senior product mind without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Before you build, you need to know who you're building for. I run structured discovery to validate demand, sharpen your ICP, and make sure your first real customer isn't your last.
Design that earns its place. I connect user research directly to product decisions, turning insight into experiences that convert, retain, and scale.
Ideas made tangible, fast. High-fidelity prototypes that let you test with real users, pitch to investors, and iterate before a single line of production code is written.
I help teams identify where agentic AI creates real leverage and then build it in. From scoping the right use cases to implementing AI-assisted workflows, the focus is always on measurable output, not novelty.
