I’m Nick McCarthy, a Senior Product Designer, helping companies create delightful, user-centric products

Based in London

Looking for the next opportunity

I’m an experienced, hands on designer involved at all stages of the design process.

Here are some of the skills I have to offer.

Research (UX)

First we need to understand the problem, a task I can handle. These tasks can include: Stakeholder interviews, performing competitive analyses, personas, Journey mapping, info architecture, user flows plus more.

Interface design (UI)

75% of users make judgments based on the quality of design.

I help ensure that judgment is positive, manage all aspects including UI creation, high fidelity mockups, icons, animations, design systems, dev hand over, plus more.

Prototypes

Looking good is half the challenge; interaction is key. I build high-level prototypes to articulate user flows that allow testing ideas early all with a focus of ensuring a smooth handover to dev and the wider business.

Cutting edge Tech

I’m fortunate enough to have designed for wide range of tech. From AI, blockchain, complex flows or large data platforms I’ve probably seen it. Along with web I’ve also designed for AR, VR, physical instalations and Games.

Business Strategy

Design and business go hand in hand. A stellar design that doesn’t meet business objectives is no good at all. I help align companies north star and evolve roadmaps to develop designs inline with business goals.

Leadership

I’m fortunate enough to have helped build and grow teams along with mentoring many.

My approach? Bring on great people and support as needed. My style isn't to micromanage, but to genuinely care about the people I work with.

The mobile site is coming (I promise) but these custom sites take time and I am a designer not a developer after all.
