About & CV

I'm a researcher and producer focused on clear communication, systems thinking, and human-centered AI tools.

Researcher and AI implementation consultant. I make technical ideas accessible, and I work with organisations to actually get use out of AI tools, bridging cognitive principles with real workflows.

Previously I was a senior researcher for Source Global Research, producing high-quality research and analysis for clients in a range of sectors.

Before that, I was a podcast producer and researcher on the UK's largest history podcast, alongside producing and supporting a range of other shows.
