Interests
Learning
Reading helps grow my knowledge of product development. At Photobox, I organised a product book club. We read books such as Messy by Tim Harford, The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton Christensen, Sprint by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, Lean Startup by Eric Ries and Inspired by Marty Cagan.
Speaking
I have talked publicly about Lean UX and often attend talks about UX and product matters.
Cycling & Running
I love cycling. I have cycled to Paris from London and recently started competing in triathlons.
I also enjoy running. At Moonpig, I organised a weekly run along the Thames and I often volunteer at my local parkrun and junior parkrun with my family.
