💻

Couldn't live without

Laptop

Most of my work starts there, whether I'm digging into a website, looking at data, working on content or figuring out how something could work better.

📍

Where to find him outside work

Somewhere away from the desk

I like getting out, switching off from work and spending time doing things that have nothing to do with screens or spreadsheets.

🍕

Favourite food

Pizza

It's hard to beat. Simple, reliable and there's always a good excuse to have one.

🏃🏻

Favourite brand

Nike

They’ve always been good at making their brand feel bigger than just the products they sell.

📺

Currently watching

The Bear

It’s chaotic, funny and surprisingly relatable. I like how it shows what happens when people care a lot about doing good work, even when everything around them is going slightly mad.

💡

Unpopular opinion

More features don't always make a website better.

Sometimes the best user experience is simply making things easier to understand and easier to use.

🎧

Working soundtrack

A bit of everything

Something easy to listen to in the background.

📚

Last book read

Atomic Habits

The biggest takeaway was that small, consistent improvements tend to matter more than trying to change everything at once. It’s a simple idea, but one that applies pretty well to both work and everyday life.

🏆

Biggest flex

Making complex things feel simple

Turning a messy problem into something that just works.

Experience & Expertise

Background

My work has grown around ecommerce and digital marketing, with a particular focus on how websites and marketing activity can work harder for the businesses behind them. Over time, that’s led me to work across CRO, UX, content and digital PR rather than specialising in just one area.

How Will works

I like to keep things practical. Rather than changing something just because it looks like a good idea, I want to understand what the problem is first and then work out what will actually make a difference.

"Make things better, not just different."
