//UX, Strategy, research & service design

I help teams find clarity in complex problems

I use research, data and business context to challenge assumptions, align competing priorities and find a direction that works for users and the business.

//Mentoring & upskilling

I help teams build confidence in research, analytics and decision-making

I run agency-wide lunch & learns and smaller team sessions using real project work, so colleagues can apply the same thinking themselves.

Speaking at a General Assembly panel in London
Mentored
“Tom is a highly effective UX professional that is fantastic at communicating. I had the pleasure of being mentored by Tom between 2017 & 2018 while at Iris Worldwide. There is no doubt his advice and guidance was a significant catalyst in my career in the user experience industry. Any employer would be lucky to have Tom on their team.”

“I would hire Thomas with my eyes closed. He is one of the best UX leaders I’ve had the pleasure to work with and learn from. A mentor and a friend, Tom taught me a great deal at Digitas. Deploying his superpower of ‘common sense’ (ironically not that common), he makes the complicated seem easy, breaking hard problems into simple, actionable steps. In one word, Tom’s UX leadership is SOLID. With him on the team, projects flow steadily and everyone’s anxiety drops.
