About Matt Watkinson
A design consultant with an international reputation for creating world-class user experiences.
I am currently on a sabbatical from design and consultancy work to write my first book, which is due for publication by the Financial Times Press later this year. FT Press focus on "signing and publishing the world's best minds on the most relevant topics" and I am delighted to be working with them on this exciting book. Written with management professionals, experience / service designers and entrepreneurs in mind, the book helps to make the principles behind great customer experiences easy to understand and implement within businesses of any size and sector.
My main areas of expertise are design workflow and processes, interface and interaction design and the psychological principles that underpin great customer experiences. I've been involved in designing enterprise web apps, large scale transactional sites, mobile apps and projects that span multiple devices. I'm also involved in designing experiences beyond just technology products.
Career highlights to date include leading the re-design of an enterprise web app with an international audience of over 300,000, consulting on the design of an e-commerce website that went on to take over £1billion a year in revenue, and producing strategic design work for one of the largest telecoms operators in the world.
I have produced work for clients including household brands like P&O Ferries, Argos, Friends Provident, Jaguar Land Rover, Vodafone, Yell and Bupa amongst others.
I used to work as a professional car photographer then moved on to shooting travel and landscapes, before committing fully to my design practice. I live in the South Oxfordshire countryside but travel for work internationally.
This website has some of the design work from my portfolio that I am allowed to show, alongside other personal projects.
