Who am I?
USER-CENTRED AND INCLUSIVE DESIGN ADVOCATE / QUAL AND QUANT DATA ELICITATION AND ANALYSIS / 20 YEARS UI/DIGITAL/GRAPHIC DESIGN EXPERIENCE / CONFIDENT PRESENTER / CAN-DO PROBLEM SOLVING ATTITUDE
I have just finished a MSc Human-Centred Interactive Technologies (HCIT) at the University of York, with a distinction.
As a person I’m interested in other people’s stories. I’m an advocate for user-centred and inclusive design and love to learn, take part in collaborative projects and present ideas and research to stakeholders.
Understanding users from discovery research enables us to understand user problems, uncover hidden problems and design and test prototypes early and quickly to create solutions all types of users actually want and need.
Previously, I worked in design agencies as a UI/digital/graphic designer with startups, SMEs and large companies. I gained valuable stakeholder management, collaboration and presentation skills from these experiences.

“Chris made it his mission to truly understand us and what we wanted to achieve. He ensured that every part of our launch campaign built brand awareness. He really impressed us with his creativity, which has transformed our brand and captured the attention of a whole new audience.”
“Working with Chris has been an absolute delight. He delivered the Verge Break branding with professionalism, enthusiasm and boldness. He really took the time to immerse himself in the company and fully understand what we stand for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
“We loved starting the Brew York Revolution with Chris. He helped us realise our ambitious expansion plan of opening York’s biggest craft beer venue just two years after we opened our brewery. His crowdfunding campaign raised £56k in 21 days with us increasing our target twice. It was amazing to get 41% more than our initial £40k target. He really supported us to take our business to the next level with great creative ideas, which were completely results focused and provided brilliant return on investment.”
