What I do

Design impactful products

As a builder, Craig knows that shipping work into the world is the fastest path to impact and insight. He is comfortable in all stages of the design process, from early discover and problem definition, through to high fidelity prototyping and collaboration with engineers.

Lead happy and productive teams

Leading teams is the greatest opportunity any professional can have to multiply impact. How you evolve your team will help determine how fast you can move to the next stage. Having led cross-disciplinary teams at a variety of scales, Craig understands how to balance the needs of your people and the needs of the business.

Advise early-stage startups

Craig works with teams just starting out, beginning to explore how design may impact their business. Having been the founding designer at multiple startups, and founded his own in 2023, he understands the context of the early stages, and where the potential for design's impact can be uncovered.
