A bit about me

Hi I'm Jack, I'm a user centred designer currently working in the UX consulting world for Hippo Digital - but I've not always been a UX designer. I originally trained as an industrial designer working on projects based in the physical world.

Finding the balance between strong UCD practice and pragmatism is at the centre of my philosophy as a designer. Working with numerous clients I've learnt how to walk the line of promoting user centred design, whilst understanding the needs and limitations of the business.

At the core of it I believe that good design equals good business.
