Artifacts

The work, by artifact.

People ask for personas, or journey maps, or wireframes at a particular fidelity, and a portfolio organised by client makes them hunt. This page is the same work organised by artifact type. Each type opens with what it is for, then the pieces themselves, 260 of them from 58 case studies, each one linked to the case it came from and marked as an original, a redrawing, a reconstruction or a capture of a live product.

Personas and profiles

13 pieces

A persona is only useful if the product can act on it. The ones here were built from interviews and from data joined together, transactions, demographics and behaviour, so a persona is a definition the platform can render for, not a poster for the wall. Several carry the second audience that pays or decides, the parents behind a Contiki traveller, the carer behind a patient.

Journey maps and moments of truth

12 pieces

Journey maps show where the waiting, the re-keying and the phone calls sit, which is where the design work is. The moments-of-truth maps for Adecco candidates and associates, the candidate journey across an agency abroad and a region in England, and a day with Sophia all started as the same question: what happens to this person between the steps the system knows about.

Service blueprints and swimlanes

9 pieces

A service blueprint puts the organisation's lanes under the customer's journey, so a manual step can be seen as a cost and a handover as a risk. The broker quote journey for Tokio Marine HCC and the before-and-after for the agent microsite system both settled what to automate first and which conversations should stay conversations.

Research and discovery

22 pieces

Research I ran myself, in the field where it mattered. A week living as a guest in Extended Stay America properties, talking to long-stay guests about the residence and the app. Days standing by the Build Your Own Sofa stations in Harveys stores, watching what people touched first and when they left to think about it. Alongside those, what the research produced: audit findings mapped to root causes, outcome sheets a leadership team agreed to, competitive audits criterion by criterion. Each piece was made to hold a design to a standard.

Information architecture and flows

7 pieces

Site maps, task and object models, flows and sorting outputs. Information architecture is the part of the work users never see and feel on every page, and for a catalogue of fifteen thousand products or a dealer site in thirty languages it is where most of the usability is won.

Wireframes, low fidelity

22 pieces

Low fidelity settles structure before anyone is distracted by colour: what is on the page, in what order, for whom. Some of these are originals from the engagement, including the Betfred templates from November 2010 with their numbered annotations for the development team. The FloraLoop and SoloBusinessAI sets are recent: with today's tooling I usually go straight to high fidelity because it brings the product to life faster, but the structural questions still get asked and answered first, and these show that pass in the language of each product.

Wireframes, mid fidelity

14 pieces

Mid fidelity carries real content, real states and annotations, and is what gets tested with users and reviewed with engineers. The Poundland wholesale order pad, the insurer's four-step site builder and the Adecco Netherlands portal screens are at this level, and the FloraLoop and SoloBusinessAI sets carry every state the build needed, empty to error to published, with the annotations lettered to the tickets. Each in the visual language of its own project.

Wireframes, high fidelity

72 pieces

High fidelity carries the client's brand, so a review is of something that looks like the product and the handoff to engineering is exact. The 2017 Tokio Marine HCC quote portal screens are unretouched from the engagement; the Betfred campaign and personalisation states, the Adecco rewards screens and the retail homepages are the delivered designs.

Dashboards and portals

18 pieces

Role-based dashboards and portals are the recurring shape across this work: a broker's morning view, an agent's site and its numbers, a client's open requests, an owner's console. The decision in each is the same, what this person has to act on today, shown first, with everything else a click behind it.

Design systems, style guides and components

12 pieces

Style guides written when wireframing begins and kept current through delivery, and component libraries that carry every state, so seventy broker sites or twenty-eight thousand pages stay consistent without a designer looking at each one. The insurance pages are originals from that engagement; the product pages for SoloBusinessAI, Cura Mirai, FloraLoop, Hi'iaka and ShelterPoint are drawn from the tokens each product actually ships with, and each one looks like its product rather than like the others. Accessibility is a property of the components here, not an audit at the end.

Prototypes and live products

17 pieces

Working products rather than pictures of them. SoloBusinessAI, FloraLoop, Hi'iaka Florist and the ShelterPoint demonstration are live, designed and built with AI tooling, and the captures here are from the running thing. The configurator for Harvey's Furniture is shown in the store it was built for.

Conversational and assistant design

12 pieces

Assistants designed with the boundaries, the failure states and the handoff to a person decided first. The ShelterPoint pieces show an assistant answering from a policyholder's own record and handing off to a named agent; the Adecco assistant was designed before large language models, when every path was authored by hand.

Operating models, plans and architecture

18 pieces

Operating models, phased plans and architecture: the Avios squads and release model, the Adecco two-tier model, the NHS and Kent and Medway proposals, and the governance kernel behind Cura Mirai. These are the artifacts that say how a product will be built and run, which is usually the harder half of the design.

Innovation concepts

54 pieces

Innovation concepts for VR, AR and connected experiences, and the co-creation ideas put to clients. They are shown as what they were, concepts and proofs of concept, and they exist because an innovation programme needs a way to test a hypothesis quickly before anyone commits to building it.
