Daire McCann, Senior/Lead User Experience (EU timezones) in London, United Kingdom

About

Design Lead with a User-Centered method, bringing a diverse skill-set built from over 15 years across varied sectors, client-side and agency.

I can validate a proven capability in producing Service Design assets, leveraging both traditional and trending tools with a competitive edge from Cognitive Psychology and Human Factors.

Having created service experiences for brands including Google, Nike, BBC, Paypal, Pwc and Mastercard I've learned how to reduce TCO while bringing design capability in-house - pushing for accelerated quality across service/design touchpoints.
