I simplify the web
I’m Chris, an experienced product designer from the UK. I’m available for freelance projects, short-term contracts, and ongoing collaborations with digital teams.
Things I’m good at
Turning nothing into something.
Improving what’s already there.
Removing unnecessary complexity.
Thinking about the bigger picture.
Designing within constraints.
Putting myself in the position of the user.
Writing clearly and concisely.
Working seamlessly within existing teams.
Pushing back when appropriate.
