Discovery & validation

I help you understand the problem, explore options and test the assumptions behind your next product decision. Whether you are starting something new, improving a feature or modernising a complex platform, I use research, journey mapping and prototypes to clarify what is worth building.

How I work

I adapt the Double Diamond to the decision you need to make: discover customer needs, define the problem, develop options and test a direction before delivery. I agree the research questions, methods and outputs with you, so the work leads to practical recommendations and clear next steps.

An unintended benefit of the prototypes that were produced for user testing workshops is that our development team have been able to work with them which simplifies the user stories, and means we have fewer UI bugs.

Really enjoyed working with you for the last few months. To say that all of your designs & UX guidelines were helpful would be a huge understatement — I don’t want to imagine where we’d be if we had been left to figure things out on our own.
