Designer and design engineer in London. I run OCTOBER, an independent design studio for startups and VCs, and I was the first designer and design engineer at Jack & Jill.
11 years across product design, brand and marketing. For the last 3 I’ve also built what I design: web apps, React Native, and native SwiftUI for iOS and Mac.
What I do
Clients include LinkedIn, Unilever, the UK and UAE governments, Atlantic Records, K5 Global, Every and Backed VC, and more than twenty startups and funds across AI, fintech, beauty and SaaS.
Things I’ve made
- Clack, a split-flap departure board for Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch
- Loopwall, a video or GIF as your Mac wallpaper
- Components, tactile interface pieces, each with a prompt to build it
- ultrapolish, design-polish skills for AI coding agents
- Tela, an open-source design canvas that runs in the browser
- Touchline, models and editorial for major sporting events
- guidelines.sh, making AI-built products feel human
- NoReply, complaint letters that actually get answers
- Sticker XI, turns anyone into a World Cup sticker
- RealPFP, profile pictures that look like real people
One of the first Cursor ambassadors, and I teach building with AI at buildwithaicourse.com. VC scout on the side. I’ve taught and spoken at LinkedIn, EY, BT, London Business School, King’s College London and others.
Off screen: photography, with over 7.4 million views, and Leeds United. I lived in Portugal for 3 years, and now I’m making the most of London life.
