Meet Joe

Welcome…

Hi, I’m Joe, a pragmatic human-centered product designer, researcher, and UX strategist with expertise in growth, accessibility and product management.  I help companies turn ideas into experiences that are both intuitive and measurable, across solutions covering AI-enabled, accessibility-compliant products, including SaaS platforms, info-rich web, and mobile apps.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across B2B, B2C, startups, and enterprise, designing end-to-end from 0→1 launches to conversion optimisation; with a track record of driving 3–75% uplifts in sales, engagement, and retention. My work sits at the intersection of design craft, UX research, and growth strategy, which means I care as much about why something works as how it looks.

I am a Certified Design Professional by the Design Professionals of Canada, and I hold an M.Sc. in Human-Computer Interaction Design from City University of London. As part of my studies, I wrote a paper that explored how users develop trust and confidence in AI agents, a question that feels more relevant now than when I wrote it. 

Outside work, I explore AI tools, write music, do artwork (matte painting, art nouveau), study languages, and go hiking.

Values

Pragmatism

I believe in rigor without rigidity. The best solutions are those that work within real-life constraints while still advancing the vision.

Harmony

I value alignment and collective progress alongside individual wins. As well, I prioritize shared understanding and respectful collaboration to move teams forward together.

Accountability

I take ownership of execution and outcomes. Research and design decisions should be measurable, defensible, and tied to real impact.

Cross-culturalism

Working across cultures has shaped how I design and lead. I embrace diverse perspectives as a strategic advantage, strengthening both teams and products.

Empathy

Empathy is both a strategic trait and a leadership principle. I seek to understand users, stakeholders, and teammates deeply before shaping direction.

Excellence

Excellence is paramount. I strive for clarity and thoughtful meticulous execution in every stage of research, design, and development.
