Reasons not to work with me!

  • 1. Looking for a Agile specialised

    Sadly, I’m not an Agile Coach or Scrum Master/Trainer, though I have worked in an agile team and understand the methodologies. I have a strong network of experts I can draw upon if you have that need.

  • 2. Focus on user interface/ interaction design

    I am not an expert in design systems or design interfaces for apps and websites. I focus on strategic design, bringing products and services to market, working with organisations to understand complex issues.

  • 3. Value not resources

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • 4. Quick fixes or cookie cutter approches

    I won’t teach one team and give you my decks so others can teach it afterwards. Successful learning experiences take much more craft and experience than that. I can train-the-trainers in your organisation, but that’s a process that needs to be taken seriously.
