About

Hey, I'm Lee β€” I help organisations turn complex digital ecosystems into products, platforms, and teams that deliver consistently.

For the past eight years at Square Enix, I've worked across platform strategy, product delivery, and experience design, helping align stakeholders and technology with commercial goals. My focus is on creating sustainable ways of working, improving quality, and enabling teams to move faster without burning out.

Away from work, I'm usually experimenting with side projects, running at a questionable pace, or adding another LEGO set to the collection.

If you're looking for a strategic partner, product owner, or delivery leader, I'd love to chat.
