Hello

I'm Jamie,
nice to meet you

My career

What I've been doing recently

I've been helping ambitious product leaders to navigate the complex world of innovation, design, and transformation. Pushing them to think beyond the boring to deliver thoughtful experiences that delight customers and drive business growth.

Understand

Behaviour design

I focus on behavioral design to understand people on a deeper level and create real impact. I use this to leverage patterns and triggers in human behaviour to motivate customers and get them engaging with your products.

Improve

Design operations

As companies mature and invest in innovation, I help them to define workflows, hiring processes, alignment between teams, and flexible frameworks to enable design thinking and people to prosper throughout the organisation.

Enhance

Product strategy

I firmly believe that customer centricity should stay at the heart of a product strategy. This is done by preventing the ‘business as usual’ mindset from hijacking the transition from human needs to expected business goals.

Interests

Outside of work

Come say hello

Mentoring designers

As part of my passion for the industry, I have naturally found myself supporting designers of all levels throughout their careers. I have a small design community called Fillament which has been running for the past 10 years and now I help out on ADPList.

Where to next

Experiencing cultures

Being lost with nowhere to go is one of my favorite past times, just take a quick look at my Instagram and you'll see my love for traveling and experiencing new cultures. My wife and I have visited the majority of European hot spots as well as a large chunk of Canada and the United States. We're extremely privileged and lucky to have had these opportunities but they've been such a key component in shaping our outlook on life, people, and our place in the world.

Pump up the jam

Producing music

If I'm not working I'm usually making music… badly. I studied music at school and played a bit of piano but during lockdown, I found it a great form of escapism and to create some moments of joy. Now I spend way too much money on fancy guitars that I cannot play but thoroughly enjoy making some new sounds and producing a few tracks all for the fun of it and creative outlet.

On the ones and twos

Attempting to run

I've never been a good runner but nothing can beat that feeling mid-way through a long run on a good summer day. I'm one of the oddballs that run with no headphones, taking in the sights and sounds around. It's a needed change from working at a screen all day!

  • Methodologies

    Decoding design and helping teams to excel

    I lead large design teams in creating user-centric apps and services. My approach goes beyond aesthetics and user experience; it's about building a design business that champions innovation, collaboration, and strategic foresight.

  • Methodologies

    Helping product leaders drive customer satisfaction

    Teams commonly grapple with fast-paced market demands and complex project scopes. As companies grow, these challenges amplify, often leading to fragmented efforts and siloed operations.

  • Methodologies

    Helping tech orgs build scalable design patterns

    There can often be a disconnect between modern engineering and design teams. While engineering teams focus on technical feasibility and implementation, design teams prioritize customer journeys and delight.

Thanks for visiting 👋

Having a driving passion for solving problems you'll often find me posting concepts and product ideas all around the internet. Currently, I'm working on two stealth products to enable designers to navigate the messy middle of product design and for leaders to get effective on-demand guidance and coaching. While those are still under wraps you can check out Decoding Design, my Substack, for more thoughts and insights into the world of product design.
