“Paul has been one of the best things to happen to my design career. I knew meeting him for the first time I wanted to work and learn from him… He helps build you up, really strives for collaboration and safe spaces whilst being forward thinking with design principles, systems and processes - he's truly ahead of the game. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor throughout my time at Blue Prism and I really do hope we get to work together again.”

Experience
“Paul is the best designer and manager I have had the privilege of working with, he is constantly keeping up with new and modern design trends and is always striving to create new and interesting UX and UI with whatever project he is working on. Paul is always pushing anyone he works with to strive to produce the best work possible and has always managed to get the best out of people as well as creating fantastic work himself. It has always been a privilege to work with Paul and I would love to and hope to work with him again in the future.”
