Above all, I was impressed with Chris’s ability to provide me with feedback that align with the need from the company. And, of course, his patience. I received an ideal offer from Microsoft with his help. Chris would be a true asset for any graduate requiring guidance and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
Product Designer
What was standout for me was Chris' ability to leverage his wealth of experience to provide practical examples of how to apply the design thinking methodology in the real world with real client challenges. It's clear to me that Chris not only is a great tutor but also a great practitioner of user-centred design.
Organisational Designer
Chris is a confident and competent expert of UX and strategic design with a wealth of experience and knowledge. His leadership and intuition provided much-needed guidance and we would not have achieved success without him. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who looks for a design expert in the team who has mastered his craft.
Senior Service Designer
I appreciated how generous Chris was with sharing his experience alongside his empathetic approach to leading a diverse class through the program. His guidance and support has helped me explore the world of CX from a different lens and now I get to help others build their CX capabilities.

FAQs
What's the best way to try the coaching out?
The simplest way is to book your first 25-minute session and we can see whether there’s a fit. I want to make sure you get the most value out of our sessions, so will suggest something else if it doesn’t work out.
Will I get a recording of the session?
Yes, within 24 hours of the session finishing, you’ll receive a link to the recording and the key points we discussed.
How do I get the the most out of the session?
Ahead of the session I’ll contact you and ask about any areas you’d like to focus on. I’ll prepare to run through your points during the session.
If the session doesn't seem helpful, will I get a refund?
No. You are paying for my time, so coaching fees are non-refundable. To get the most out of our time together, think about what you’d like to get out of the session and write some questions or discussion points down.
Can I reschedule the session?
Sessions can be rescheduled but can only postponed by upto 4 weeks. Just contact me to rearrange.
