I’m Nick, a product designer with over a decade of experience designing and leading digital products across agencies, startups, and in-house teams.
I work on complex systems: multi-brand platforms, internal tools at scale, and products that need to stay coherent as teams, features, and constraints grow.
What’s kept me here isn’t tools or trends. It’s the challenge of making products clearer, more resilient, and easier to build and maintain through close collaboration with engineering and leadership.
My focus is on durable UI, design systems, and decision-making that holds up over time, not just at launch.
Work Experience
Armstrong Operations
Product Design Lead
2022 - Today
Most recently I designed and directed Orbital, Armstrong’s internal operations platform, covering payments, data, localisation, CMS, and automation for high-volume, multi-market operations. I built a token-driven system in direct partnership with engineering, embedding design decisions into production to create a solid, scalable UI foundation across current and future applications of the tool.
Alongside Orbital, I defined and governed UI and brand systems for 5+ Armstrong products, alongside the Marketing and Ops teams. I established a shared design language and component system that enabled fast delivery while maintaining clear brand separation.

Product Design Lead
2018 - 2022
I joined at an early stage and guided the product and brand through rapid growth from 10 to 100+ employees. I rebuilt the trading platform end-to-end across web and mobile, modernising the UI/UX for a global user base.
I shipped new product surfaces including multi-account onboarding, crypto wallets, affiliate tooling, dashboards, and market discovery features.
In parallel, I built and scaled the design system and visual language, driving multiple rebrands to establish consistent UI, interaction patterns, and a coherent product and brand presence across all surfaces.

Creative Space
Product Design / Art Director
2017-2021
I led product design and creative direction at Creative Space, a fast-paced strategy and creative agency. I worked across branding, product, and marketing, moving rapidly from early concept to execution across digital, physical, and experiential projects.
My work spanned early-stage product and UX concepts, brand systems, physical product and industrial design, e-commerce, and campaign work. I designed across web and app interfaces, 3D and physical products, apparel, and content for live and experiential shoots.
I owned all client-facing creative output, directing cross-channel work and translating business goals into clear positioning and shippable outcomes under tight deadlines.

Gametech Ltd.
Product Designer
2015 - 2017
I started as a junior designer, gaining hands-on experience across product, UX, and brands in a small, fast-moving London startup.
I progressed to leading the product design efforts on three key products: Nenx, ProOptions, and Dito (Web, iOS and Android apps) working directly with engineering and the CTO to modernise interfaces, interaction patterns, and brand identity.
Brining these products to market played a key role in the company’s IPO.
