Hi, I’m Richard, a design leader with a focus on UX/UI
With over 7 years of experience working with start-ups and FTSE 100 companies, I bring a broad skillset and a wealth of expertise.

The following case studies gives an overview of my design process, from starting with a kick off meeting to fully understand problem all the way through to live product. However, as no project progresses in a linear fashion, I find ways to adapt my approach to suit.
