I’ve partnered with agencies, in-house teams, and consultancies across a wide range of sectors, from fast-moving startups to complex enterprise environments, delivering outcomes that span high-impact optimisation initiatives through to end-to-end product development and large-scale transformation strategies. My work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and business: aligning user needs with commercial objectives to create solutions that are not only desirable, but viable and scalable.
Over the years, I’ve refined a rigorous, human-centred design approach grounded in deep research and shaped by strategic thinking. I believe meaningful innovation starts with understanding unpacking behaviours, motivations, constraints, and systems before jumping to solutions. I combine qualitative insight with quantitative evidence, translating complexity into clear opportunity spaces and actionable direction. The result is work that is both empathetic and effective, built for real people, within real organisational constraints.
I’m comfortable navigating ambiguity and thrive in environments where clarity needs to be created. Whether leading discovery, defining product vision, mapping service ecosystems, or driving delivery, I bring structure, momentum, and a bias toward action. My process flexes to context: lightweight and iterative when speed is critical; comprehensive and methodical when risk is high.
Beyond delivery, I play an active role in shaping strategy and influencing direction. I work closely with cross-functional teams; product, engineering, data, marketing, and executive stakeholders. to align priorities, build shared understanding, and secure buy-in. I’m as comfortable in the weeds refining interaction details as I am in the boardroom articulating vision, defining roadmaps, and advocating for investment. I help organisations move from idea to execution and from execution to measurable impact.
Curious and momentum-driven, I’m constantly exploring emerging technologies, evolving design practices, and smarter ways of working. I see AI, automation, and systems thinking not as trends, but as tools to amplify human potential and organisational capability. Continuous learning isn’t an add-on to my practice, it’s core to it, freeing up room for true creativity.

Hello!
I'm Francesca, and I bring a rare mix of product strategy and hands-on design; with 10+ years across agency and client-side.
I’ve led end-to-end product design in complex, large-scale environments, working closely with stakeholders, product managers, and engineering teams from discovery through to delivery. I specialise in bringing clarity to ambiguity, synthesising research into decisive action, and connecting strategy with execution to ensure what gets built delivers real impact.
Trusted in high-stakes environments, I help teams validate ideas, shape roadmaps, and uncover growth opportunities before significant investment is made, blending product thinking, human-centred design, and commercial awareness to deliver intuitive, effective products.
