Design that doesn't change an outcome isn't design. It's decoration.

18 years closing the gap between what a business needs and what actually gets built. Crypto. Super-apps. Neobanks. Travel. Regulated banking. Products millions of people depend on.

I started as a front-end engineer — I know what it costs to build what I design. I've built and scaled design teams at Metro Bank, Almosafer, and Careem. I've been the solo IC at midnight and the director in the room where strategy gets set. There's no part of this process I haven't owned.

I Don't
Just Lead.
I Deliver.

Let's talk →
01

Every decision earns its place

I design what moves numbers in production. If it doesn't trace back to an outcome, it doesn't ship.

02

I slow down so the team speeds up

Most rework happens because someone skipped alignment. I make sure the room agrees on direction before anyone opens Figma.

03

The org runs after I leave

Every design org I've built kept delivering after I left. I hire people with taste and judgment, then give them the context to own it.

04

AI is in my workflow. Daily.

Not a talking point. A genuine competitive edge. Faster exploration, better decisions, less wasted time. The judgment is mine. The speed is multiplied.

Jay
Tulloch

I started building websites at 15. Got a BSc in Product Design from Brunel, then an MBA with a focus on Digital Banking from Cranfield. Somewhere in between, I stopped being a designer who understood business and became a business leader who happens to think in systems, interfaces, and user behaviour.

I've written production code. I've run design teams of 25+. I've presented to exec boards and I've pushed pixels at 2am. Front-end engineer, IC designer, team lead, design director, co-founder. It's the reason I can walk into any room, at any altitude, and add value immediately.

AI is embedded across my entire workflow. The taste is mine. The throughput is multiplied.
