About Me

I'm Wayne. I ask questions, build prototypes, and explore how technology impacts people's lives.


Over the past nine years, I've worked in global consulting and with early- and growth-stage startups, translating research into product and service strategy for 0→1 and established products at companies like Designit, Glorify, RaiseMe, and other YC-backed startups.


Most recently, I deepened my practice through a Master's in Interaction Design at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID), strengthening my ability to move fluidly between research, rapid prototyping, and hands-on making.


Outside of work, I'm enjoying being in water, soccer statistics, and museums.
