I'm offering
London based Agile UX/UI all-rounder. Comfortable taking UX Delivery or UX/UI design roles. Creating responsive digital experiences are my day-to-day activities. As the great Steve Krug once said 'Don't Make Me Think', I too have helped build clutter-free products for some of the biggest brands around like Sony Playstation, Southwest Trains, Gatwick Airport, Morrisons, Vanquis Bank, Boots, Tesco Blinkbox, Camden Market, Crystal Palace, Virgin Active and many others, whether replatforming, digital transformations or greenfield. My ideas put the user first. I have worked the full lifecycle of UX/UI projects with a focus in Agile UX Delivery.
Wire-framing and prototyping highly functional UX frameworks and creative user interfaces that match the needs of both customers and business areas. User testing, usability testing, end-to-end design or creating slick high-fidelity user-journey mockups. Specialising in banking, finance and e-commerce with a dash of machine-learning. I drive complex UX/UI requirements from concept to release. I define features, interactions, user flows, content & error conditions. I aim to ship beautiful experiences having worked across award-winning sites & agencies - most recent award has included 'Fintech App of the Year 2018' for Vanquis Bank.
Comfortable taking the lead as Senior UX or being a team player, I am a design heavy UX/UI all-rounder - always on the lookout out for sites and functionalities that look good and work well and get excited about the prospect of how something looks on mobile or tablet.

"Brandon is a very considered UX, and is able to balance ideals against platform constraints in order to define UX patterns applicable to a wide range of uses." - Splendid Agency
"Where others might be happy with a superficial overview he works hard to understand the context of what he is designing. This approach, his UX knowledge and an innate creativity produces wireframes that really work for his clients." - Sony Playstation
"Brandon is very user centric, but also understands that there needs to be a balance between user needs and business requirements, considering all options and limitations such as deadline and development cost." - Preqin
