Kano was a creative computing company built on a simple idea: building a computer should be as intuitive as assembling Lego. In an era of passive consumption, Kano carved out a space for creation. My role was design lead on the digital side, it was a multi-year project spanning everything from designing an operating system to a suite of creative coding software. This project contains work from Bruno Schillinger, James Hicks, Leah Thomas and Erik Sal.

Playcanvas
WebGL Game Engine

Playcanvas
WebGL Game Engine
PlayCanvas is a web-first 3D game engine built on WebGL, the first cloud-hosted game development platform. As founding designer and Creative Director, I owned all aspects of creative output from the company for its first few years. Beyond the core engine, I led design across the broader product ecosystem, a GitHub-style social network for sharing and forking projects, and an educational platform introducing developers to 3D web development.

Suade Labs
Regulatory reporting

Suade Labs
Regulatory reporting
Suade is a RegTech platform helping financial institutions automate regulatory reporting, reducing the cost and complexity of compliance through standardised data and AI-driven tooling. I joined on a consultancy basis to lead a full rebrand, delivering a comprehensive brand guidelines document that matured the brand from its startup roots into something credible at enterprise scale, covering identity, marketing, merchandise, and key touchpoints. Alongside the rebrand, I introduced a structured design system and produced an initial component library with supporting screens, laying the foundation for a more consistent product experience.
