Hey, I'm Bethan 👋

I'm an experienced digital product designer engineer who has spent 10+ years designing products end to end.
I moved to the Netherlands to join Lleverage AI, an automation platform for back office work, as part of the founding team. As Head of Design, I lead design principles and help shape the team and its product foundations.
Before that I worked with Storyteq,ITG and Accenture, in house for international teams and agency side for some of the world's biggest brands, across B2B and B2C.

I set the design foundations in digital companies and champion them across the business. I own the whole journey, from talking to 🤝 customers and early research to setting up design systems, prototyping, validation and production code.

With a degree in graphic communication and a background in computer science, I design and code using a mix of traditional tools like Figma and Creative Cloud and newer ways of working with AI and agents like Claude, Codex and Linear.

I always start with why something does or doesn't work for the user, and usability and ♿ accessibility sit at the heart of everything I do. I measure how experiences perform with PostHog, so what I ship 🚀 isn't just beautiful, it actually works for people.

I'm 🎨 creative, ⚡ fast and 🎯 accurate, I love 🙌 teamwork, and I think in systems so the whole product feels connected.

Outside of work, you'll find me out with my 🐕 spaniel, watching ⚽ football, rewatching Friends or making little side projects like Flock, currently using my own agent harness. You won't find me updating my portfolio though. I need to do that... sorry 🫶

Anyway...
