No tricks. No dark patterns. Just better journeys that convert.
CONVERSION OPTIMISATION
HOW I WORK
My approach
Find what is happening, understand where things break down, make the right improvements, then keep refining over time.

Sound familiar?
LOW RETURN
Traffic is there, but results aren’t
You’re getting visits, but they’re not turning into revenue
FRICTION POINTS
Drop-offs everywhere
Users are starting glossaryPain PointA specific problem or frustration users experience when trying to complete a task.Open glossary term→, but something is stopping them finishing
STALLING IMPROVEMENT
You’ve tried quick wins
But nothing has meaningfully improved glossaryConversionA conversion is any action a user takes that aligns with a defined goal, such as making a purchase, signing up, or completing a task.Open glossary term→
RANDOM TESTING
Testing feels random

UNCLEAR PRIORITIES
You don’t know what to change
There are too many issues, but no clear place to start
FORM FRICTION
Forms are painful
Too many fields, too many decisions, too many reasons to abandon
CHECKOUT HESITATION
Checkout isn’t smooth
Users hesitate at the final step, or drop out entirely
DISCONNECTED CHANGES
You’re optimising in isolation
Changes are being made, but they’re not part of a joined-up glossaryStrategyStrategy is a high-level plan that defines long-term goals and the approach to achieving them.Open glossary term→
UX, research and product leadership for teams tackling complex digital services. The work usually starts where things have become harder than they need to be: unclear journeys, inconsistent products, competing priorities, or teams trying to move forward without a clear direction. I help simplify the problem, shape the right next step, and turn complexity into something people can actually use.
I had a fantastic experience working with Andy. One of his most impressive achievements during our time at NHS HEE was masterminding a deeply complex information architecture for a new platform that brought together a large number of legacy websites.
