BUILDING THE BUSINESS
I combined client development with responsibility for the quality and commercial delivery of programmes. Relationships and work I developed contributed approximately half of company revenue. I worked with founders, executives and technical partners to shape briefs, assess opportunities and turn emerging technology into practical development programmes.
LEADING PEOPLE AND DESIGN
A Design Manager reported to me and led the industrial and graphic design team. I set direction through reviews, workshops and client discussions, while recruiting and developing designers from graduate through to senior level. Our full-time team worked with a wider network of specialists in electronics, firmware, software, UX/UI, human factors, regulation, optics and manufacturing.
CONNECTING STRATEGY WITH DELIVERY
My remit extended from research and concept direction through engineering coordination, prototyping, supplier development and commercialisation. The portfolio spanned consumer products, connected experiences, medical technology, professional equipment and circular-design research.
