Hi, I’m David — recently promoted to proud parent of twins, loyal sidekick to a scruffy little Border Terrier, happily married to a brilliant Swede, and proudly born and raised in the beautiful nation of Scotland.
David’s designs have been previewed on large scale across the department and feedback has been excellent, clearly showing the initial brief has been fully understood and very effectively realised. Comments from Case Managers centred around the clarity in the way the information was displayed, the easy to navigate layout and the positive way the products would drive efficiencies in the service delivery process.
David has been wonderful to work with as he actively seeks feedback on the granular details his designs while still maintaining the larger product focus. Taking on board feedback and clearly and effectively iterating changes to meet the customer need has led to a well realised and effective design which can be taken forward into the service delivery space.
Senior Case Manager
David's designs are always comprehensive and well thought out, which makes implementation and testing much more efficient for the development team. He’s highly collaborative and open to technical feedback and quick to adapt designs based on feasibility and effort. This continues to make a real difference to our workflow.
He proactively reviews builds before testing, catching discrepancies early and saving valuable time. His work is consistently clean, intuitive, and accessibility-conscious. He’s always pushing for better user experiences, and his design presentations consistently impress our clients. I am very envious I wish I could design as well as David does. Each time David presented his designs to the client they were blown away.
Lead Developer
David had a good balance of professionalism and creativity. There was always an openness to flexing ideas and working on a solution that meets the needs of the project.
He worked well with Team Members, Partners, SMEs and Customers. His ability to provide us with the art of the possible opened our eyes to what the service could look and feel like at an early stage in the project.
Having David’s expertise and bringing previous experience into this project was valuable and provided some great guidance on how the service should be shaped.
David’s designs were of a high standard and a real strength in his ability. He would passionately talked through his designs in our sessions and this shows great confidence in the work that he produces. His ability to change designs on the fly in sessions was well noted and helped us have dynamic and efficient sessions.
