I’m Alaric - a proven design leader doing product strategy for organisations working in complex and critical environments.

I love working at pace, nurturing talent, navigating uncertainty, and translating big visions into reality.

I’m currently the Director of UX and Digital at The Chancery Lane Project, a pioneering NGO, where I lead digital innovation to accelerate legal responses to climate change and biodiversity loss.

From 2017 to 2023 I led research and design teams building products for the UK government and private sector clients. Highlights included working on products that; leverage data to identify risks at the UK border, enable training to improve teacher retention and make energy systems modelling accessible and open. For some of that time I was also the Head of Product Design at Snook, an award winning design consultancy.

Between 2009 and 2017, I worked as a freelance designer and front-end developer. During that time, I designed a visual identity for an architecture practice, helped redesign Island Records’ global website, and led a technical team to build and launch a multi-device gaming platform for Red Bull. I also made a music video that picked up quite a number of views and had a go at starting a small sustainable packaging business (which didn’t quite take off, but taught me a lot).

I live in the rolling countryside of South East England with my wife and daughter. We spend our spare time making things, cooking things and traveling to unusual places.
