About

Some insight about my experience, enthusiasm & expertise.



Global delivery

I'm a mixologist of typography, colour, imagery, form, technology and, especially, content. Creating ecosystems all over the world, that communicate purpose, and form.

I simply love what I do & am still totally in awe of my role and what it affords me.

I'm also the Professional Standards Committee Director at
The Human Centered Design Society

I have trodden the path from green screen to flat screen, and now, to no screen at all.

My journey on the road of UX Nirvana started when I was an avionics engineer. Traversing through systems, analysis (operational & technical) and finally physical design.
Some people call what I do, experiential design.

My experience informs my delivery. Not just the mechanics of experience design, but where I've travelled to, who I've worked with, the meze of art, music, and simply the people who share the same space as me; wherever they may be. I'm a father. A traveller. A cocktail aficionado. A musician. A foodie, and at times; thanks to West Ham Utd, a pragmatist.

Adore Zaha Hadid and James Bond in equal measure; it's got to be Sean Connery.
Not adding to my collection of synthesizers is difficult, the latest one being the magnificent OB6 from Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. Its just like honey gently meandering to your ears.

Life is a beautiful thing.
