About me
I’m a Design Director helping my clients transform their businesses through customer led digital products and services.
With over twenty years experience in design thinking, user experience and user interface design, I work to deliver usable and engaging branded experiences that create business value and maximise the potential of technology. I’ve successfully delivered projects around the world for global brands, start-ups and technology businesses.
I’m a hands-on ‘Design Director’, actively defining customer problems and areas of opportunity, directing and executing ideation sessions and creating wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs.
I have extensive experience of working closely with and communicating design intentions to development teams as well as proactively managing C-Suite stakeholders and championing the value of design led thinking.
Background
Starting my career in 1998 as a Visual/UI designer, in 2002 I became a founding partner at HeathWallace. The agency focused on helping large global businesses design and develop human centric, business viable and technically feasible products and services. I built the design discipline to over 50 practitioners across the UK, Hong Kong and Australia and was responsible for leading the design direction on many major accounts. In November 2018, I left HeathWallace to focus on new opportunities.
Living in Reading (UK,) I’m married to Kate and together we have two beautiful daughters, Laurie and Lyla. In my spare time I’m a keen motorcyclist and enjoy horse riding.
