Let's Fix Things: For over two decades I've been consulting in my specialist area of Communications Design: Everything from business strategy and processes, through to technology, interaction and customer experience. The thoughts here are my own, not necessarily that of my employer. Feel free to contact me about industry news, swap opinions or discuss consultancy services and customer service strategy.

Even outside of the confines of my day job, I have a passion for spotting patterns and fixing broken user and customer experiences. Even my Bumblebee project hasn't escaped - I've been using Six Sigma techniques to study and predict their behaviour patterns. ☺
