I'm Charlie

I’m building products out of the UK. I love ideas in their earliest stages, and would love to hear any of yours; let's see what we can make happen.

Growing up in the UK

I grew up in a village outside London, with a keen interest in thinking as much as I could.

2018-2022

The University of Chicago

I went to university in the southside of Chicago, and studied Economics and History, with a minor in Data Science.

2022-23

Moved to LA

Grew into the start-up space, working on zero-to-one within the clothing industry; first, at AVNT Space, then with Miscellaneous Studios. Saw opportunities I couldn't pursue without product knowledge.

2023-24

Back in London

I knew I wanted to focus on product, but spent some time coming to terms with the commercial processes - specifically outbound sales - required to build and validate demand for a software.

2024

Began building.

In 2024, I finally built and launched my first product, DeckHeads. It's a print-on-demand service for the production of customised packs of cards, for use as merchandise in commercial settings.

2025

All-in on products.

I loved building DeckHeads, and felt ready to focus on product full-time. The rest is history...

So what do my days look like now?

I spend most of my time doing one of two things:

Positioning

Figuring out routes to revenue, ways to communicate ideas, and who to target.

Product

Mapping and executing on the best possible builds for a range of new ideas.

Maybe there's something for us to talk about...

It's a principle of mine to have as many conversations as I can. I'd love to hear your story, and let's talk about your ideas, products, or opinions. I'm looking forward to it.
