Dean is someone I refer to as 'the real deal' in this industry.

He's got first grade qualifications in Human Factors (which we bonded over) and has been practicing Human-Computer Interaction to a level that puts many of us to shame, in organisations across Australia and Europe since the late 90s.

If you have the chance to get him on your project, take it.

Dean was a UX Lead on a number of digital origination product journeys in a period when we were creating the template for these journeys.

He managed to create experiences that met the commercial outcomes required and put the financial well-being of customers front and centre.

Dean is a great mentor to junior designers and cares deeply about the wellbeing and success of the team he works in.

Dean is the most empathetic and compassionate designer that I’ve ever worked with.

He centred his career around wellbeing of people and communities and created lots of great solutions and products that focus on that.

He is a very reliable team player and it was a pleasure to work with him.
