About me

Started design-life at Which? as a FE Dev.

Eventually wound up at Top10.com where we grew a broadband and mobile phone comparison tool from nothing to a multi-award winning (“Best Technology & Telecoms Publisher” A4U & PMA Awards) market-leading site.

We sell Top10 to uSwitch where I ascended the design ranks to creatively lead the business through a product-wide brand repositioning, site restructure and redesign.

Stepped off the full-time train to pursue the freelance life.

Joined forces with a few friends to start SPOTTER - a fit-tech startup.

When im not designing I’m making music or hiking.

Testimonials

"Lewis is very innovative in term of his design approach. He is a highly creative guy and multi-disciplined designer. Instrumental in designing for major product enhancements, impact-driven new IPOs and very comfortable breaking big ideas down into triageable parts.

Popular in the team, has an enormous sense of fun. Fits in with everyone really well. Huge hard worker particularly when he’s inspired by someone."

Harry Jones

CPO, Motorway

" He’s a brilliant designer, really creative and skilled at what he does. Great communicator, good at getting a mix of what’s right across design and commercial.

Comfortable balancing business and user problems. Managed people extremely well, leadership chats were great. Great at collaborating across cross-functional squads. He went from being a solo designer to running a 5 person design team at uSwitch."

Julia Stent

Former CCO, uswitch

“It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Lewis; he’s never shy to share ideas for process improvements and is very kind and open.

Lewis is an expert in Figma and quickly filtered through the noise to define a lean approach to our design system. A very proactive person and an asset to teams.”

In a nutshell

My Process

STEP 1

Understand the problem

Every project requires specific tools from the product toolbox. Analyzing the problem allows us to determine which tools will be most impactful in shaping our discovery strategy.

STEP 2

Concepting & Ideation

From Desk Research to Team Workshops, my goal is to synthesise targeted data and emotions. My expertise is in producing Wires, Flows, IA… delivering visual structures to foster meaningful conversations.

STEP 3

Formalised Design

Processing vital data and feedback into UI Patterns, Design Systems, Animations, Prototypes… whatever is required to define the path forward for the product.
