A seasoned digital technology leader, designer, and strategist. I’m an expert in UX design, product & service design and user research. Blending creative innovation with the power of insight to exceed results is what I do best. Described as a product design strategy “game-changer”, “visionary”, “ideas guy” and “bloody nice chap”, I've reached 100s of millions of people with my work, worldwide. At Google I led design for and released 3 ground breaking products and features at Google I/O. During my decade at Google I worked on Google Maps, Search, Android and more. Other tech and media brands I've worked with include Skype, BBC, NHS, Yahoo, Virgin, Reed and some fantastic start-ups you haven’t heard of (yet). I work alongside a range of roles from developers, product managers to managing directors and CEOs. But most importantly, customers and users — the result? Outcomes that increases customer loyalty and meets commercial objectives consistently. In addition to ‘hands-on design’, workshop and design sprint facilitation I am a consultant to C-Level executives on product design strategies. Working with brands already remarkable in their field who want to push for increased growth. ★ 25 years’ experience in digital technology design, including 10 years at Google ★ I speak designer, customer, developer, executive, sales, user research, team building, product development life cycle, project management and product manager. ★ It feels like a lifetime ago, but I also hold a 1st Class BA in Interactive Multimedia. -- ► About Thunk – Thunk transforms businesses with digital product design.
