Work

This is my work, what I do on a daily basis, some projects that I have worked on, and some things that I believe make my work better and more fulfilling.

About

I am a principle/director level product design generalist, manager and design engineer.

I am happy working on problems and projects of any size, and capable of producing results as the leading designer on teams of all sizes.

I share my values with thoughtbot, with a few tweaks.

  • Earn trust, share it, and bring others along.
  • Keep learning, improving, and making things better.
  • Focus on quality, in the spirit of progressive enhancement.
  • Practice self-management, and lead by example.
  • Find meaning and fulfilment in everything I do.

You can read more about me on the /about page.

Case Studies

Below you will find some recent examples of my work, please get in touch if you would like to talk more about my work on these projects.

Luke was able to take [the clients] loose requirements and turn around a well-thought-out, high-fidelity prototype in a matter of hours. He did a great job walking the client through his thought process, communicating his design decisions, and bringing the client’s vision to life.

Highlights

Below are some images of my previous projects, that I haven't got around to writing more about yet.

Toolkit

This a little place for me to write more about my process, techniques and other thoughts about my work. I have other thoughts about things in the /journal

Luke has a great approach of clearly outlining the problems, then talking through the process / approach that we recommend, all while overcoming potential objections and last-minute questions along the way.

Experience

I’ve been a full-time designer and front-end engineer since 2011. I started out as a Graphic Designer, around 2014 I transitioned to Product Design. Since then I have worked with clients of all sizes in many different industries.

Luke has continued to excel as a manager, always providing me with a safe space to express myself, as well as offering guidance, resources, additional perspectives and support throughout different challenges and phases of my professional growth.
