I’m Carl, a product designer and engineer.

I like figuring out what something should be, then getting my hands dirty in the build to help make it real.

I’ve spent the last fifteen years working across new technical products, payments, wallets, eCommerce and design systems. Sometimes that’s been with a small team trying to get an idea off the ground. Other times it’s meant helping a larger organisation make its product, design and engineering work fit together better.

I’ve worked with startups, scale-ups, public institutions, and brands including Sky, NowTV, Sony Pictures, and others. I’ve mentored designers and engineers in Toronto, Beirut, Dubai, and Manchester, and taught workshops on privacy-preserving tools in Berlin.

More recently, I co-founded a data-sharing company and designed and built Factory, a music app used across web, desktop and mobile. I’ve also led product design for complex platforms, helping founders turn strategy into working products.

I tend to be happiest somewhere between the idea and the finished product. Talking to people, working through the interaction, making prototypes, writing some code, and helping the team decide what’s worth shipping.

Outside work, I like saving mid-century furniture, rebuilding old racecars, and green olives.
