Kind words from previous clients
Simon is a gem of a designer. We had a complex, data-heavy web app, that could easily have appeared overwhelming and confusing. Simon rapidly designed a clean, uncluttered and intuitive UI, with a Tier 1 look & feel. He proactively trimmed user journeys and added flair, whilst also swiftly responding to edit-requests with zero ego and high collaboration. He's super responsive and enjoyable to work with, and we'd recommend without hesitation.
I hired Simon at a time of intense project delivery pressure and high ambiguity. Simon is capable of tackling complex design problems of different natures, from highly abstract UX challenges to visual design. He was very flexible and adaptable, and was able to learn and apply new skills and domain knowledge quickly. Simon's communications were always clear and the deliverables were always professional. I recommend Simon to any high-performance product teams.
We brought Simon on board after working with an agency for months without getting much value out of it. Simon quickly took reins of the main design challenges we were facing, worked closely with us to re-align our visual identity to our brand positioning, and embedded himself in the product team to work on some highly unstructured and early-stage product development. Not only did he help us design and launch a complex data product within a short time frame, he also began building a library of design components that we could use going forward. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone in need of urgent design leadership to accelerate product development.
I could not rate Simon and his work more highly. He managed to capture and then build the 'feel' of our mission at Hibi into a brand, website and set of product designs in a way that we internally did not have the skills or capacity to do. His designs and thinking are now at the core of our offering. We reached out to Simon at a point where we had built an MVP and validated demand, but now needed to create a UX/UI and marketing site that would allow us to convey the value of the product we were building. Simon worked right alongside our team, always responsive and with a brilliant ability to interpret what it was we were trying to communicate.
We brought Simon in to level up our product fast. We had a disjointed journey with designs executed by a range of contractors and agencies. Simon came in and cut through the noise to establish our new journey, product identity and set the platform up for us to build and grow in the future. He was professional, able to pick up new concepts and issues fast and helped us take our product to the next level quickly. I'd highly recommend Simon and look forward to working with him again in the future.
Simon is a one-of-a-kind designer. In many ways, he is an artist — there is a voice to his design that's unique in the market. I am super thankful that Simon came at a pivotal moment for Tactic, spearheading a completely new brand and redesign of our product. We had great fun stressing about the big things (gradients, typography, the feeling that Tactic's brand can evoke) and the small things (border widths, corner radii, and toggle design). I am sure we all agree that our brand looks unique and exciting for the future of AI and knowledge work!
