Product Designer
Hi, I'm Chris, a Product Designer. I bring value by finding the sweet spot that aligns business needs with user goals. By using an evidence-based approach, I help guide business decisions with my human-centred approach to design.
What is my work?
I have over 8 years of experience in Product & Technology. Initially, 4 as a front end developer and then 4 as a Product Designer. I want to progress my career in Product Design, where I've worked at 2 companies, 1 year at design agency Engaging Tech, and 3 years at Olio. My case studies which you can find below are based on my last year of work at Olio.
What am I looking for next?
I'm looking for my next opportunity in Product Design: joining a bigger, established team of product designers where there are more challenges to explore and I can use my human centred design approach.
If you think I'd be a good match please get in touch!
