Senior Product Designer @ Spotify
About
I'm a Senior Product Designer at Spotify, shaping the future of audiobooks and audio experiences. With over 15 years in digital product design, I've led design teams, defined product strategies and shipped consumer experiences at scale across Spotify, Deliveroo and Student.com. My work spans product vision, end-to-end experience design, growth and design systems, combining hands-on craft with prototyping, experimentation and cross-functional leadership. I'm particularly interested in pushing the boundaries of what's possible through emerging technologies, AI-powered workflows and rapid, data-driven prototyping.
Experience
Senior Product Designer · Audiobooks
Spotify
·
OCT 2022–PRESENT
I’ve helped shape Spotify’s audiobook experience from the early ideas through to the products people use today. This has included leading projects like Audiobook Recaps and Page Match, rethinking core experiences and finding new ways to bring reading and listening together. Page Match has reached 6M users, with 1M monthly active users. I’ve developed deep expertise in AI tooling and increasingly use it to build real products. Working across AI-assisted coding, data, APIs and interactive interfaces, taking ideas from concept to working experiences, test and communicate a vision far beyond what static designs can show.
