AI & Design Advisor - helping businesses adapt as AI reshapes digital

I help businesses bridge the gap between intelligent design and practical AI application – acting as an AI & design advisor to clarify, enhance, and future-proof digital experiences.

Seeing the pattern behind the change

AI is not new to me. Neither is digital change. I’ve spent decades working where design, strategy and technology overlap – watching platforms rise, watching hype cycles come and go, and watching businesses overreact or underprepare. What makes this moment different isn’t the existence of AI. It’s the speed and the scale. AI is reshaping how information is created, distributed and trusted. I don’t approach that with noise or fear. I approach it with context, experience and a long view. That difference matters.

What I bring as an AI & Design Advisor is perspective earned over time

I understand how design influences behaviour, how digital systems quietly shape decisions, and how new technology shifts business models before most people realise it has. I’m not interested in chasing tools for the sake of sounding current. I’m interested in helping leaders think clearly, act deliberately and build systems that still make sense five years from now. The goal isn’t to impress. It’s to prepare.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a ground breaking frontier in technology
AI isn’t sitting on the edges of social feeds anymore. It’s now in the news cycle itself. It’s in headlines, commentary, image creation, voice clips, and increasingly in video.

Sorry, mate. You’ve had a good run. You charged us by the hour, made us wait a week for a logo tweak, and got weirdly emotional about font choices.

Branding gives design meaning. Without it, design is just surface-level - pretty, but forgettable.
