Hands-on support
Hello everyone, I've been a design practitioner and experience strategist for 25 years and have led and mentored designers at many agencies and firms including Fjord, Ogilvy and AKQA. I've hired and developed the careers of more than 100 people and coached and mentored over 50 to senior design and studio positions in Service Design, Product Design, UX and UI using a proven career and promotion framework designed to highlight areas of growth and improvement which we work through together. I like to get to know people on a personal level which means we can structure the mentoring to suit your specific challenge and the practical application of it in your environment.
More about me, I like use a range of design methodologies to solve business problems and conceptualise solutions and services to shape, build and launch products for clients across every industry including retail, FMCG, financial services, energy and telecommunications. I focus on cross discipline, collaborative design projects, with specialists in adjacent fields such as technology, IT, marketing, business strategy and sales to deliver measurable results and inherently change customer behaviour. I have judged at digital and advertising award shows including Cannes Lions.

Emma has been an amazing mentor - exactly the kind of person you’d want guiding your career. She’s incredibly empathetic while staying focused on helping you reach your goals. What I love most about Emma is how quickly she gets to the heart of any issue. With all her experience, she can spot the real problem right away and help you see the bigger picture. This has saved me so much time and confusion in figuring out what really matters. Emma doesn’t just disappear after our sessions either. She’s always there when I have questions, responds quickly, and gives really helpful feedback. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping me succeed. Overall, Emma gives me exactly what I need from a mentor: smart advice, emotional support, and someone who’s truly invested in helping me grow.

Knowledgeable, analytical, and empathetic. Of all the mentors I’ve had —and there’s been a fair many— Emma stands head and shoulder above the rest. I can’t recommend her enough.

I had been seeking mentorship for a while, and Emma stood out immediately with her depth of experience and strategic background. From the first few conversations, it was clear that she truly understands the nuances of design and career growth. Our regular, informal discussions I've found super effective, & provided me with much-needed structure in my career focus. I’ve started thinking differently as a designer—gaining a deeper understanding of how to leverage my skills, not just for personal growth but also to contribute more effectively to my workplace. Her guidance has helped me align my career trajectory with my company’s goals, creating a win-win situation. If you're looking for a mentor who is insightful, supportive, and helps you see the bigger picture, I highly recommend Emma!
