I ask “why?” for a living
Hi, I'm Harvey!
I’m a Senior UX/UI Designer with over 7 years of experience designing user-centred digital products across both agency and in-house environments.
I’ve worked across a wide range of sectors including motoring, finance, charity, publishing, and e-commerce.
I currently work at Bauer Media UK, where I manage a small team of UX Designers who focus on creating intuitive, research-driven experiences that balance user needs with business goals.
In my spare time I work on a variety of side hustle projects that are focusing around my second passion in life which is product design and watches.
