What people say about me
There is always a well thought through and structured body of work including scanning the market for approaches inside and outside of the car rental space that sits behind your final design output.
Your methodical approach to the delivery of your work is immaculate. Well-documented handover spec, stakeholder visibility and meticulous copy refinement mean that the output from your product is refined and strong.
You are involving the team earlier during the design process; there is a consultative element now, where there is back and forth discussion as well as a proper formalised design handover.
Damian is always available and easy to approach. He has a keen eye for details and a really good knowledge of company domains and challenges from a design point of view.
