Bobby King: Glasgow UX Designer

I design online services, apps and websites for human beings.

Hire me for User Research, Product Design and Interaction Design - contract and freelance. I've been working in the User-Centred Design field for seventeen years, mainly in financial services and the public sector.

I have a reputation for being friendly and empathetic. At the same time, I have a long track record of delivering complex web projects. I'm well-known in the Scottish UX community as a speaker, mentor and leader.
