Luke is fantastic at understanding his team and getting the best from them individually and as a unit. I feel very fortunate to have worked under Luke as a senior and to have him as a mentor. He encourages you along your career and is keen to help you progress. He grows teams and hires people that complement each other's abilities, which is a real art. He is a very personable and approachable Director with a great work ethic. Luke would be an asset to any company.

In my 20+ years in digital service design, I have rarely met such a skilled and dedicated product design strategist and practitioner as Luke.
He is an inspiring and diligent leader who empowers his team to create value driven solutions. Designs produced under his stewardship are always a consummate blend of user delight and business value, derived from a process that combines creative problem solving and evidence based decision making.
His passion and experience make him an invaluable asset to any leadership team.

Luke is one of the most professional designers and product leads i've had in my career. As a designer he has exceptional expertise on both UX and UI, you can always learn something new from him or ask for advice.
Luke is very comfortable to work with, he is one of the professionals that are not precious about every decision they make, but very much focused on the outcome for both users and business.
As a Product Lead, Luke finds a perfect balance between the product needs and needs of his team and makes sure everybody is comfortable with their work, cares about every individuals career goals and balances all that with conducting a smooth flow of the product development.
Great pleasure to work with him!

If I were charged with formulating a design team and planning to get a top talent: rockstar researcher, enlightened UX designer and Top 1% visual design - it would be Luke. Let me quickly tell you why:
Luke was already working on a project I joined, and my first interaction with him was a company-wide presentation he did on his team's research. It was a TED level presentation with a level of uncovered insights putting Scotland Yard to shame.
His ability of problem framing made it look as if the complex, entangled area he's working on is quite manageable and easily formulated. With fantastic user flows, his team quickly validated strategy with most challenging stakeholders.
His visual designs then inspired the whole organisation to push the envelope, exciting internal teams as well as customers!
During all that time he was focused on his stream, Luke proved to be a real team player - always finding time to also help out design leads in other areas.
He's simply one of those unicorns - when you start working with Luke, it's just hard to imagine ever not working with him anymore.

“Luke is a truly exceptional mix of awesome designer and great UX practitioner. He took us from a early patchwork of half thought out ideas and poor designs to a strong, coherent, consistent product design we will continue using for a long time to come. If you ever have the opportunity to work with, or employ, Luke, do it - he would be an asset to any team or project.”
“Luke is a designer who always puts research as a key step in his working process. He mentors me a lot in the field of user research and design and shares a new methodological UX design approach. If you ever work with Luke, you will definitely like it!”

Luke is by far one of the most talented and creative Designers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Luke's ability to quickly understand the unmet needs and use cases of the customer, and then translate them into an elegant and efficient interface is amazing.
I feel lucky to have worked with Luke on several mobile applications and web-based projects, and his results were top-notch!

Luke has a rare mix of skills where he can seamlessly flow between Research to User Experience Design and top it up with mouth-watering User Interface. I've been in our industry for many years now and have seen this unique ability only on three occasions.
Luke is confident, autonomous, reliable, and ready to trailblaze the way.
He also was a much-appreciated member of our design team, earning a nickname 'Captain Luke.'
Don't forget to ask him for a story or two about his time when he went on board of a big container ship for a week to conduct design research. He brought back missing knowledge and created robust documentation, which was instrumental to our understanding and informed product design and development.
I've worked with Luke for over a year and a half.
Now, I know whom to reach out to when I need to partner up with an ace designer.
I would call Luke and pray he's free to come on board as the quality of his work and his experience is hard to find these days.
