Recommendations
Working with Chris was always a pleasure – his practical UX knowledge combined with his strong academic HCI background, as well as his easy going nature meant that projects we worked on together were both productive and enjoyable. I really miss Chris and hope our paths again in the future. I would strongly recommend Chris to anyone wanting a genuinely clued-up UXC/IxD.

I worked closely with Chris on a number of projects at Redweb and got to know him and his work very well.
Chris is a fantastic team member and incredibly hard worker. Alongside this Chris’ knowledge of his field is superb and his diligence and understanding of the principles of user experience and information architecture are second to none.
In the jobs i’ve worked closely with Chris he has displayed a unique ability to use lateral thinking, alongside his understanding of data and willingness to read around the subject means Chris is a brilliant asset to any team.
Chris also is an accomplished public speaker, regularly leading the UX Thursday discussion groups at Redweb, talking on interesting and well researched topics to educate the rest of the agency on the importance of a user centred approach.
Not only does Chris understand innately the core principles of his work he also goes above and beyond in his work ethic. In fact I have seen Chris go to such lengths as to drive the length of the country for a meeting after his plane had been cancelled, and work an entire night just to hit a deadline.
Chris is an asset to any team, talented at his job and a great personality that will lift any working environment.

Chris is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He is friendly, approachable and maintains a professional attitude at all times. Chris is always eager to help and goes the extra mile to make sure he delivers his best, even at times when it wasn’t expected Chris would do everything he could to get the job done.
Chris has a solid understanding of user experience and is always eager to learn more. Although at first visualisation wasn’t one of his strengths he recognised the potential weakness and focussed is efforts on improving the relevant skills, and improved considerably.
It was a pleasure to work with Chris and I truly hope I get the chance to again in the future.

I worked with Chris on a number of large scaled projects, one of which was the re-design of the Scottish Parliaments website, I accompanied Chris on a number of user testing sessions which had great success & informed our re-design achieving the best result.
I have always admired Chris’s dedication, as it’s the best I’ve seen; he takes great ownership over all of his projects & can’t put them down till they’re just right. Chris understands the importance of working closely with the designers to achieve the best result. Chris constantly reviews his work & strives for excellent. Chris is a welcome addition to any team.
