London, Somerset
—UK
My name is Tim. I'm a cold-start design and innovation operator. I create value through founder-grade leadership, creative strategy and process-driven delivery.
I lead and build digital platforms and ventures at the intersection of creativity, emerging technology and commercial strategy. I identify high-leverage technological opportunities; including frontier systems - and deliver future-focused work alongside measurable business impact.
I’ve led end-to-end strategy; scaled ventures from launch to exit, built outstanding customer experiences and brought world-first innovation to the blockchain. Adept at nurturing high-performing teams, driving digital transformation and building communities in visual arts and AI.
Process
Managing activity with flexibility
I practice data-driven design thinking that merges human-centered empathy with data as a core driver. I test and validate sentiment to inform an iterative process that recognises stakeholder and customer needs whilst accelerating innovation.
Working With Me
From zero to one
As a founder-grade operator I have learnt to navigate the tension between ambiguity and stability. I seek opportunities to innovate and I recognise creativity and structure as equally nourishing conditions under which my best work is delivered.
Creator Mindset
Ideation in, value out
From a creative background I have built a pragmatic mindset that frames ideation within a pipeline that seeks proof. By continually testing my thesis I'm comfortable pivoting, re-assessing my inputs and delivering measurable outcomes.
The initiatives and organisations below have helped shape my journey or are instrumental in helping me to shape the journey's of others.
Grow
Over the last few years I've been guided by World-class entrepreneurs and leaders via SETSquared, Virgin StartUp, Dot Dot Dot and Crowdcube. Ongoing symbiotic co-pilots and cherished advisors help me navigate and understand nuance and granularity in sectors and work practices adjacent or ahead of my own.
Advocate
Through ongoing associate judge commitments with The Webby Awards, The Lovie Awards - and previously with a self-initiated creative awards showcase and creative portfolio review programmes - I'm engaged in helping creators find a voice and audience for their talents; regardless of where they've come from or where they are.
Guide
In participation with support and education providers such as Bristol University, UAL, Bath Spa University, Business West, Techspark and ClickStart I encourage entrepreneurs and creators to confidently embark on self-sustaining careers via pitch judging, workshops and transferring past experience in service and product businesses.
