Hello my name is Paul and I am a public focussed designer and coder based just outside my rainy home town of Manchester, England.
I build products and services based on evidence helping organisations respond to the behaviours & raised expectations of users.
I have over 20 years experience, working in agile, multidisciplinary service and product teams.
I'm a designer with a strong technical & software engineering understanding as well as team management skills.
My primary areas of expertise are:
Interaction Design (UX Design, User Experience Design).
Product Design (Visual & User Interface Design)
Design Systems
Frontend Development
Using these skills I have often worked as Lead Digital Designer for large public and private organisations such as BBC, NHS England, Toyota, DWP, The Ministry for Housing and many other high profile digital and product agencies.
The first designer hired for a newly established digital department within the UK's largest independant pharmacy business.
Working with senior leadership, Paul helped to hire the team, shaped their approach to design and to quickly build and test their riskiest ideas and assumptions with users.
Front-end Development for DWP Digital (formerly Business Transformation Group) within the Department for Work & Pensions.
Paul worked within a large multidisciplinary design team. Following 'User Centred Design' principles to design end-to-end services that benefit both citizens and government.
Working closely with the Government Digital Service (GDS) and other lead Front-end developers within the department to champion progressively enhanced, accessible and efficient digital services.
