Darren Bennett
Designer
I am a London based designer with 31 years experience. I help my clients deliver digital products and services across multiple channels and touch points.
I specialise in product and service design for iOS and Android platforms inclusive of phones, tablets, wearables and smart TV’s and web.
I have a strong technical understanding of both web and native development, essential for communicating with development teams and understanding constraints and possibilities.
I started designing interactive experiences at the beginning of the internet’s mainstream birth in the early 90’s. I have since held design roles leading teams in both user experience, interaction and visual design. I have worked on a variety of projects ranging from large transformation projects, startup MVP’s and business as usual projects. I have conducted user experience training, thought leadership and mentoring, team education and professional skills development.
Previous to my digital experience I specialised in graphic design and illustration working on many visual identity projects, brochures, magazines and packaging.
On occasion I have spoken at industry conference’s such as Reasons to be Creative, and previously had a stint as a user group manager for Adobe, running a regular meet up and some 1 day conferences for Adobe.
