Ways to work with me

Booking Process

Let’s have a virtual tea (or coffee!)

We’ll meet for a virtual brew to assess where you’re at, what your goals are and what you need help with. I’ll guide you towards the right service.

A match made in heaven

If we think it’s a match, we’ll go ahead with a project brief and follow-on call to gather requirements and sign a contract to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. I always leave enough flexibility to allow for change.

Kick off workshop

Once we’ve nailed down a plan, we’ll do a interactive kick-off session with your team (or just you!) and get some early insights to drive things forward. No boring presentations here!

Why work with me?

Research that drives Action

Fast, cheap solutions might offer quick fixes, but they lack the depth and precision needed to truly understand and address the unique challenges and opportunities you face. We deliver actionable insights that are pivotal for sustainable growth.

Shared Problem-solving

Working in isolation drives your product and business goals apart. We firmly believe in the power of collaboration and fostering an environment of shared problem-solving and ideation. Uncover the best ideas and ensure buy-in and alignment across your team.

Transformative Data Insights

Data dumps without a context or a compelling story are unusable. We focus on transforming your data into clear, concise insights that drive tangible business outcomes, empowering you to convert challenges into growth opportunities.

Experiment and Adapt

Half-baked solutions and un-tested features lead to low retention and adoption. Our prototyping and testing processes help you build adaptable frameworks and test things quickly to gain insights to create products users love.

When you choose to work with me, you’re not just getting a one-off service provider; you’re gaining a strategic partner dedicated to your long-term success.

Ready to transform your vision into a reality?

Once upon a time

In a world filled with digital wonders and mythical beasts, there was a young girl who dreamed of conquering challenges and slaying the dragons that stood in the way of success. That girl was me, and my quest began over 9 years ago driven by a passion for exploring intricate problems and creating meaningful, impactful design work.

My quest has led me through the choppy waters of startups, the process monsters within scale-ups, and marketing demons in creative agencies, where I acquired the skills to defeat these challenges for teams big and small.

As an experienced design director and business owner, I firmly believe in the power of bringing people together to solve problems, create ideas and translate them into measurable solutions that drive real business results.

When not slaying digital dragons, I find peace in horse riding and enjoy the company of my mischievous pets, Nacho and Kiwi. My passion for organisation has been instrumental in setting up my business and reaching my life goals.

Got a few questions?

Happy to help!

  • The "Conquer The Kingdom Quest" package is our most comprehensive offering. It includes usability testing, iterative improvements, prototyping, workshops, and A/B testing. This package is designed to cover all aspects of product development and enhancement to ensure you can fully conquer your market. With this package I will work with you to define and set clear goals meaning guaranteed results.

  • Usability testing allows you to understand how real users interact with your product. By identifying pain points and areas for improvement, you can enhance user satisfaction and increase product adoption rates. We always encourage teams to get involved if they would like in this process to encourage transferrable knowledge.

  • We create low to high-fidelity prototypes depending on the stage of your product development. These prototypes can range from simple sketches and wireframes to fully interactive Figma prototypes, helping you visualise and test ideas before full-scale implementation.

  • A Design Sprint is a structured, time-constrained process for rapidly solving problems through ideation, prototyping, and testing ideas with your team and users. It benefits your startup by accelerating innovation, reducing risk, and delivering actionable insights in a matter of days. Depending on which option you choose we will either pick a relevant activity to do from the whole design sprint, or conduct a full workshop. A full design-sprint is usually over 7-14 days so these will be a taster of the full offering. 

  • A/B testing involves comparing two versions of a feature to determine which performs better. This method helps you make data-driven decisions to optimise your product and achieve long-term improvements in user engagement and satisfaction.

  • For clients who choose The Conquer The Kingdom package, we offer ongoing support that includes regular check-ins, updates, and continuous optimisation recommendations monthly. This ensures your strategies remain effective and adapt to emerging trends. 

  • You can expect accelerated innovation, improved user satisfaction, enhanced product effectiveness, and data-driven decision-making. Our goal is to help you achieve sustainable growth and long-term success in your market. An example of results from a client include a 53% increase in return traffic and increased engagement from 11% to 45% on key conversion pages.

  • Yes, we offer customisation options to ensure the service meets your unique requirements. During our initial chat, we will discuss your specific needs and tailor the service components accordingly. You can book a initial chat here
