I spent a year working with Condé Nast International exploring new product opportunities in the B2B space working with Prada, Burberry, and other clients in the luxury and fashion. I lead ideation, client research and product strategy.
Prior to that I worked with a start-up analytics company who offered sophisticated face, object, image recognition and natural language processing technologies which enabled brands to track logos, products, brands, athletes, celebrities and conversations.
At Google I provided UX enhancements for a new product. I’m under NDA so cannot say too much, however it was interesting to be in their office and see how a successful company performs UX and new product development.
Previously I developed and launched a website for author Wendy Jones. Wendy has published several books and speaks at events. She requested that the website publicise her work, allows visitors to purchase her books and enables people to connect with her.
My first contract after leaving WGSN and EMAP was working for a start-up who developed a content management system for the publishing industry. I provided advice on setting up a product function and market insights.
Some of my favourite websites include:
