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.
- Competitive benchmarking
- User & stakeholder interviews
- Usability testing
- Discovery workshops
- Personas development
- Customer journey mapping
Experience Design
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.
- Information architecture
- Wireframing and prototyping
- User interface design
- Product design

Clients.
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.

What they're
saying
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.
