I write about design, UX and tech on Medium

Leadership

I have a first class track record of running large teams, providing critical guidance to designers as well as oversight and governance at the highest level, for agencies and organisations large and small. I also write, speak and consult on most aspects of design, UX and technology.

Experience

I’ve been in design for nearly three decades now. I’ve been successful in every design discipline, from brand, identity, art direction and UX to running the design teams on next-generation digital transformation projects for large institutions, banks, financial services, utlities, startups, scaleups and SMEs

Knowledge

I’ve worked on a large number of technological firsts, with some of the most celebrated companies, gained significant semantic knowledge on understanding how business logic, code and roadmap factors into design, along with promoting a symbiosis between design, product and engineering

Craft

A traditional classic graphic design education and typography background, along with a career-long respect for the principles and practices of good human-centred design. I strive for best in class UI, gestalt principles, heuristics, attention to detail, finish and finesse and apply these to digital product design

I love Typography2
