About me

    • I’m a ‘Visionary’": I’m drawn to big questions and messy problems.

    • I’m an ENFJ: I thrive on building meaningful relationships both within and outside of work.

    • I’m an ‘Achiever’ (Type 3): I’m motivated by goals and energised by lasting outcomes.

    • I’m a systems thinker: I approach problems with thoughtful leverage, rather than a solution fix.

    • Creativity → I strive for playful and effective novelty.

    • Compassion → I care a lot about doing good for people.

    • Perseverance → What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

    • Authenticity → I believe in delivering meaningful work, for the users (and not the middle-man).

    • Perseverance → What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

    • Self-development → Life, like design, can be learnt, grown, improved, and do always better.

    • I like to work in the open to invite feedback, reflect and interrogate my thinking.

    • I’m always learning by embracing a WIP mindset and continuously iterating.

    • I ‘listen with my eyes’, a Chinese saying that means being analytical to get answers, rather than simply asking.

    • I’m friendly with uncertainty, and unafraid to pull things apart, break ideas and start again if required.

    • I’m an optimist where more often than not, I will bring a glass-half-full attitude, regardless of where we’re at.

    • I have ADHD, but it means I’ve learnt to harness the power of organisation to make it my superpower.

    • On that note, I also need to be hyper-organised in order to perform well. According to this personality test, I’m 94% more organised than the average person.

    • I’m a Type A doer, driven by efficiency. I gracefully balance this with a discovery-like mindset: asking the right, and many questions, before attempting to answer.

    • My best work usually happens in the morning when I’m meeting-free.

    • My favourite work involves strategic thinking. I’m very fast at processing concepts, and great at simplifying this when required. This is why my work is sector agnostic.
