For over 16 years, I’ve designed everything from websites & digital strategy to award-winning mobile health apps. And I founded The Greatness Studio to help you unlock your design superpowers.
I specialize in Content Strategy, Persuasive Design, & Interactive Prototyping, and my ethical design practice includes techniques from acting & psychology. I hold a Professional Doctorate in User-System Interaction & a Master’s in Psychology; plus I’ve given talks & classes on in over 11 countries.
