What I do
My work connects cognitive accessibility, learning design, and lived neurodivergent experience, translating research and real-world challenges into practical systems and strategies.
Building tools
Through MuddleMend, I create practical phone, smart-home, and digital supports for ADHD: guides, no-code apps, and setups organised by symptom rather than tool, so people take what's useful and leave what isn't.
