«What do you do?»

I apply multidisciplinary intents to product and process, wherever opportunity or introspection strikes. I mainly work with online projects, yet have experience extending from conceptualisation through to marketing, on varied projects as diverse as interior design and web-service APIs.

On the tech front I define application architecture consulting and independent development team execution (resourcing, training, management, support), plus discrete facets such as UX, specifications and optimisations.

I've been active in the development of hospitality spaces that foster communities, particularly coliving hubs and mixed-use models that support entrepreneurship. If you've an aligned project do introduce it as I love to support the movement (no charge).

Sectors that I am focussed upon are: ecommerce / marketplaces; publishing / identity; hospitality / communities; real-estate / space-planning.

Current attachments

Pitch me! I'm currently available for ad-hoc or nominally retained consulting and development, advisory and part-time roles. More than happy to have an initial chat (book a video call or ping me), the more alignment the more I may be open to being very flexible.
