Hello there. I’m a designer, author, speaker and co-founder of the UK-based strategic design studio Berst. For over 20 years, I’ve helped organisations combine design, strategy and entrepreneurship to bring new digital products and services to life.At Berst, our sweet spot is working with leadership teams at scale-ups to help them regain momentum and define the vision for their next big leap. Each year we also partner with a few early-stage ventures on a part-fee/part-equity basis and we run a one-day conference called This is Optimism for teams who are imagining and inventing new digital experiences.Previously, I was Director of Design at the pioneering agency Clearleft, where I built one of the UK’s leading design teams, curated some of Europe’s most successful design events and had a blast working with an excellent bunch of people.In 2010 I co-authored the best-selling book Undercover UX Design with Cennydd Bowles and have spoken at design events around the world, including South by Southwest, UX Australia and Tech4Africa.I’m a Fellow of the RSA and hold an MA in Design for Interactive Media. Whenever possible you’ll find me running on the South Downs with my dog Ernie.

Listed skills include Accessibility, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, User Experience Design, and 24 others.
