Hi, I’m Courtney Mclean. I help brands and organisations create human-centred experiences through strategy, design, and technology.
From strategy to experience.
Good design is a business investment, not an indulgence or a luxury. It engages audiences, builds relationships, enhances life, and ultimately more than pays for itself. I focus on designing exceptional experiences with clarity and understanding through a human-centred approach.
By challenging core assumptions, my goal is to create products and services that bring actual value to people, services that solve a problem and make life that little bit easier, and to help grow and transform your business.

How I can help your business.

User Research
& Discovery
I always begin by working to uncover and understand your product, business and audience. Through UX research and discovery, user journey workshops and information architecture, I identify project goals and minimise risks, allowing me to form considered, user-focused experiences that drive results.

A great user experience is one of the best competitive advantages that a company can have. By putting the user first, I create seamless and intuitive product experiences that empower and delight users, meeting them where they are online and offline.

I’ve been very fortunate over the last 12 years to have lead, and been in some fantastic product teams where I have designed highly usable and accessible online applications, websites and creative solutions that have delivered strong results for businesses, organisations and charities across a wide range of sectors.

Courtney did a fantastic job on the UX/Creative of an iOS & Android app we'd commissioned to build. His ability to reconcile requirements and shape them into a finely tuned user experience was exceptional. Hire this guy - one of the best designers around.
