I love my job. Period.

It’s not a slogan — it’s just true.

Few careers can take you from the slums of Egypt to the boardrooms of Canary Wharf; from the hallways of Microsoft’s original campus to the bridge of a giant container ship at sea — and then drop you right into the excitement of Just Eat’s IPO in 2012.

I’ve seen the print lines rolling in New Providence, watched the walk the horizon in Finland, and had a local clown interrupt an amazing dinner in Bucharest. I’ve sat in the corner of our office overlooking Kyiv’s Maidan Square, and from London - listened to James Blunt recording an interview for our new media platform.

My career has taken me nearly everywhere!

And that’s not even half of it. Over the past 20 years, this job has taken me to more countries than I can count — working with teams across every timezone, culture, and way of thinking. I’ve sat in dusty backrooms with local researchers, in spotless boardrooms with executives, and in scrappy startup offices where everyone was fuelled on caffeine and hope.

That’s what I love about this work. The variety. The people. The constant learning.

Being a product designer means you never stop being curious. One day you’re out in the field, observing how people really live and work, trying to piece together insights from tiny details that others might miss. The next, you’re deep in strategy sessions, shaping experiences that millions of people might use. It’s equal parts creativity, logic, psychology, and storytelling — and that mix still excites me.

It’s messy, unpredictable, sometimes chaotic… but it’s real. It matters.

Design, for me, has never just been about making things look good. It’s about empathy — understanding how people think, what they need, what gets in their way, and how to design something that genuinely helps. It’s about clarity. About making complex things simple, and simple things feel effortless.

Across two decades, I’ve worked with some brilliant people — engineers, researchers, PMs, clients, and users from every corner of the world. Every project, every culture, every challenge has shaped how I see design. It’s taught me that good design isn’t a finished thing — it’s a conversation, one that keeps evolving with every person who touches it.

If there’s a common thread through all of it, it’s this: I still love what I do. After all the flights, the deadlines, the late nights, and the launches — I’m still that person who gets a kick out of solving a problem that actually helps someone.

So yeah — I love my job. Period.
