    Designer at heart

    Understand more easily. Act more simply. Progress.

    I start with people and what they need to understand, do, or become — then I bring in the technology.

    01 · Design for understanding

    Design is everywhere

    Creating a clear, thoughtful presentation for a client or audience is a form of respect. The right image does not decorate the message: it helps people understand, feel and remember it.

    A data journey

    02 · Design for learning

    A data journey

    A pixel-art story turns an invisible technical journey into an accessible adventure: creation, transmission, routing, data centre, cloud and reception become steps people can finally follow.

    Follow the journey

    03 · Design for confidence

    Complex work, made intuitive

    I turn business requirements, connected data and complex processes into clear solutions that help end users act with confidence — without first having to learn the tool.

    What I Do

    As a Solution Designer at the intersection of Agentic AI and Sustainability, I don't wait for the brief. I see the gap, I design the solution, and I deliver it — usually before anyone else has named the problem.

    I build frameworks, concepts, and strategies that help organisations move from AI experimentation to real, accountable outcomes.

    With 10+ years in the Salesforce ecosystem, I specialise in the space where sustainability strategy meets AI execution.

    I scaled Net Zero Cloud across 450+ dentsu offices, empowering 150+ users and cutting assurance time by 67%. On Nonprofit Cloud, I design solutions that help mission-driven organisations do more with less. I built a sustainability guild from zero. I write, speak, and design at the frontier of what's next.

    AI Commerce vs Agentic Commerce: What Happens When AI Chooses the Brand?

    Your customers already use AI to shop. The real question is whether your brand is still considered when an AI makes the decision on their behalf — and why AI commerce and agentic commerce are not the same bet.

    Concept to project

    Agentic AI for luxury brand

    Generated 11 MQLs + 27 pipeline contacts from a single Innovation Day concept.

    Secured first NZC workshop sale against competing platforms, establishing Merkle DACH's foothold in the sustainability advisory market.

    Presented a standout use case at an internal Merkle DACH Agentforce throw-down; won 3rd place; client subsequently engaged Merkle on a luxury project.

    Designed a full Salesforce career session for women re-entering the workforce at BWBW: honest, practical, no corporate polish.

    Created sustainability sales enablement content used across DACH, UK & APAC regions.

    Why this

    I'm honestly not sure the tech industry deserves the optimism I keep bringing to it. But I keep showing up because the alternative — letting the people who don't care about ethics or the planet design the systems we'll all live inside — feels worse.

    What I'm working on right now: how to make sustainability a real commercial conversation, not a compliance checkbox. How to design AI that's actually trustworthy, not just declared so. How to build things that hold up when nobody's watching.

    I don't have it all figured out. I change my mind often. I'd rather build something honest and small than something polished and hollow.
