About - I’ve been building businesses and digital products since I was 21

I specialise in taking digital products from concept to launch - managing roadmaps, leading development teams, and driving commercial outcomes. Making strategy tangible.

I have been running my own businesses since the age of 21. In that time I’ve successfully taken multiple concepts to market, giving me the tools and capabilities to help both new starts and established businesses develop their brand and operational capabilities.

Experience - What I bring to every project

A career built on doing, not just advising. Here’s what I actually bring to the table.

  • Product Ownership & Strategy. With over a decade of experience leading digital products from idea to execution, I work hands-on with businesses to define vision, build strategic roadmaps, and ensure real delivery. From scaling platforms to launching first-time MVPs, I’ve helped teams align around what matters, iterate fast, and ship with purpose.
  • Technical Leadership. While I’m not a developer by trade, in nearly all of my professional roles I have led development teams by having a firm understanding of the stack and keeping a clear focus on the desired outcome. I’ve led cross-functional teams, broken down technical blockers, and translated business goals into developer-friendly plans. My role is often the bridge between product ambition and technical reality.
  • Web & Platform Development. Having built, scaled, and maintained numerous websites and platforms, I bring a unique hybrid of strategic thinking and hands-on technical ability. I’ve created everything from high-performing landing pages to custom CMS builds, always with the end-user and business objectives in mind.
  • Brand & Digital Strategy. I help businesses find their voice, sharpen their digital presence, and create brands that connect. Whether developing full brand systems or refining customer journeys, my work always ties strategy to performance - ensuring every digital move drives results. No fluff - just results-focused strategy that connects with real customers.
  • Business & Revenue Strategy. Every project I take on is geared toward commercial success. I work with founders and teams to define monetisation plans, pricing models, and revenue opportunities - often helping businesses go from idea to first income, or scale existing operations to the next level.
  • Presenting & Hosting. I host a podcast, speak with clients weekly, and regularly pitch to stakeholders - clear communication is core to what I do. Whether running workshops, leading investor presentations, or simplifying complexity for teams, I make sure everyone in the room gets the vision and knows the next step.
  • Community & Charity. A role close to my heart. We operate a family-run foundation, The Cookie Jar Foundation. Whilst many of my roles involve planning challenges and convincing friends to take part, I also run The Cookie Jar’s website, take care of our technical infrastructure, and present and speak about the charity to various stakeholders.

My Approach - Personal project leadership

I'm not an agency. Every project I take on is led by me personally, from start to finish. I work with clients to fully understand their business model, audience, and ambitions — and I structure the build around those insights. No fluff, no jargon, no sales pitch. Just honest advice, fair pricing, and a focus on getting your business results.

  • Hands-on. Every project is led by me personally, from strategy through to delivery. You won't be passed off to a junior or a subcontractor.
  • Transparent. Clear advice, fair pricing, and honest dialogue throughout. You'll always know where things stand and what comes next.
  • Results-focused. Everything I build is geared toward commercial outcomes. Strategy is always tied to performance — not just aesthetics.
