about you exist

I'm a Product Designer, UX leader and former agency founder with over 20 years’ experience across digital product, customer experience and design strategy. After scaling a UX agency through to acquisition, I now help product teams to transform complex user journeys into elegant, intuitive digital experiences.

I value open discussion, constructive challenge and continuous learning. The best work I've been part of has come from teams that are curious, generous with ideas and willing to test assumptions rather than defend them.

I still enjoy being close to the work, from the research, the thinking and the design craft. I’m equally adept at stepping back when needed, setting direction, delegating clearly and helping others do great work.

James McNess, CEO, Code And Visual "We’ve worked with Pete for over 20 years, and there’s a reason we keep collaborating. He has a great way of cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually matters, grounding everything in real user needs and business goals. We’ve brought Pete in on a number of projects to provide UX oversight, run workshops, and help draw out the right insights from stakeholders. He’s especially valuable on custom work where things aren’t always straightforward. Pete's always easy to work with, fits in quickly with the team, and can take the lead when needed. He’s also very thorough in how he plans and scopes things, which gives everyone confidence in the process."
