About

Brian's portrait

I’m a UX Researcher, designer, and accessibility specialist with an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction Design. I currently lead UX Research and Accessibility at a financial services company, helping customers build resilient financial futures. Previously, I worked at the Centre for Human-Computer Interaction Design, The Interaction Lab, and various other user experience and design agencies.

My research in HCI has focused on improving access to digital information for stroke survivors with complex communication needs.

I serve on three advisory boards where I contribute to shaping academic research and curriculum development at two UK universities.

Beyond this, I am interested in Human-Centred AI, Decision-Centred Design, and Digital Health Technologies.
