About
Hi there! I'm Will, a product designer greeting you from the cobbled streets of Edinburgh 🏴
I specialise in designing digital solutions and have a strong background in human factors design. My portfolio spans a wide range of digital products, from mobile apps to emerging web3 technologies. Over the years, I've both led teams as a manager and honed my skills as an individual contributor.
I strive to engage with all stages of a project's lifecycle to ensure that every detail aligns with the overarching vision. I am dedicated to delivering innovative, elegant solutions that counterbalance business goals with user needs.
