Lead Creative Technologist
I'm an award winning Design Lead with over 20 years experience. I specialise in financial technology / fintech where I work with multidisciplinary teams to create delightful experiences and solve real customer problems.
From design thinking, to design doing.
I create products and services based on user research, stakeholder insights and data. Other considerations include system legacy, deadlines, technical constraints, legislation and budgets.
The process begins with the integration of a UX strategy into the product or service roadmap. This drives the vision for innovation as well as metric based creation. At the same time, I aim to build a dream team of collaborators who will push UX to new levels within the project. Ultimately, we develop a culture of continuous learning, encouraging constant improvements across the business.
