This is a mix of real-world commercial work, community projects, independent studies and live experiments. Some have succeeded. Some have changed direction. Some are still being tested. Together, they show how I approach Experience & Commercial Strategy: understand the human need, find the opportunity, build something useful, test it in reality and learn from what happens.

FAQs
What is experience strategy?
Experience strategy is the process of designing how people feel, behave, move and remember their interaction with an organisation across every touchpoint. A strong experience strategy helps people understand the brand, feel connected to it, trust it, remember it and choose it again.
What is commercial strategy?
Commercial strategy is the plan for how an organisation creates, communicates and captures value. It looks at offers, pricing, positioning, partnerships, routes to market, customer value, revenue opportunities and
growth models.
In the Experience & Commercial Strategy Studio, commercial strategy is connected directly to human experience, because how people feel, remember and behave affects how they buy, return, refer and engage.
What does an Experience & Commercial Strategy Studio do?
An Experience & Commercial Strategy Studio helps organisations identify where their brand, customer journey, service, story, space or community could become more valuable. It combines experience design, customer journey thinking, brand strategy and commercial opportunity mapping.
The goal is to create ideas, offers, journeys and strategies that help the organisation grow while becoming more human, memorable and meaningful.
Who is this for?
This is for purpose-led organisations, founders, venues, hospitality brands, wellness brands, destinations, communities, cultural organisations, professional service businesses and experience-led companies that want to grow without becoming generic or emotionally flat.
It is especially useful for organisations with strong stories, spaces, services or communities that are not yet being fully used commercially.
How is this different from a marketing agency?
A marketing agency often focuses on campaigns, content, advertising or visibility.
The Experience & Commercial Strategy Studio works further upstream. It looks at what the organisation actually is, what people experience, what they remember, what they value and where commercial opportunity is hiding.
The work may later inform marketing, but it begins with the deeper experience and commercial strategy.
How is this different from customer experience consultancy?
Customer experience consultancy often focuses on improving the customer journey, reducing friction and creating better service interactions.
This work includes customer experience, but also looks at brand story, physical spaces, events, partnerships, offers, community, emotional memory and commercial growth opportunities. It is customer experience with a wider commercial and human-first lens.
What does “human-first experience design” mean?
Human-first experience design means creating services, spaces, journeys, events and offers around how people actually feel, behave, connect, remember and make decisions.
It recognises that people are not just users, buyers or data points. They are human beings seeking trust, meaning, ease, belonging, identity, emotion and memorable moments.
Do you create the ideas or implement them too?
The Studio focuses primarily on strategy, concept development, customer journey thinking and commercial opportunity mapping.
For larger projects, specialist collaborators may be brought in for design, build, technical delivery, branding, media or production.
What kind of organisations benefit most from this?
Organisations that have a desire to grow and come alive like never before.
