Dan Wilson
Product Owner at Skipton Building Society
Richard was instrumental in delivering customer focused enhancements across our Web BOM tool and Help Centre during their first redesign in 2022 /while part of the eCommerce Agile transformation programme in 2022
Richard provided expertise throughout all the projects' phases: from customer research to thoroughly understand the customer needs and validate the business assumptions; to wireframes that enabled us to get live feedback and further enhance the proposed solution.
Richard designed the wireframe and created interactive prototypes, and then supported on the usability testing in collaboration with the UX team. His technical skills as well proved very valuable when having to understand the current CMS architecture and define the ways of working for a new FAQs application, replacing an existing Help Centre.
A well-rounded UX/UI designer, who was able to very quickly understand a new industry, interact with customer and internal stakeholders, and deliver solutions that directly benefited the business goals.

Richard joined our team as a Product Designer on a short-term contract to help launch our design system, and his impact was immediate. He integrated seamlessly into multiple teams, balancing his responsibilities well across both the design system team and a project team developing a greenfield web app. His ability to facilitate key discussions and contribute meaningfully to both efforts was invaluable thanks to his deep expertise in design, strategy, and process.
Thanks to his contributions, we successfully met numerous ambitious project schedules, and the improvements he delivered significantly enhanced the operational efficiency of our sourcing teams. Beyond his technical skills, Richard was a friendly, professional, and approachable team member who adapted well to changes in his role, even taking on Frontend Development responsibilities when asked. He was proactive in his responsibilities, taking on challenges beyond his comfort zone without hesitation.
I highly recommend Richard for any team looking for a skilled and adaptable Product Designer who can make a meaningful impact.

His research-led approach ensured that RTS Mobile was designed with the needs of machine operators at its core.
