What’s it like to work with me?

Head of Experience Design & HCD capability development
Approachable. Empathetic. knowledgeable. Three words that come to mind immediately when I think of Dug. He has that ‘senior practitioner vibe’ about him that commands respect.
Dug not only knows the stuff that makes the experiential design world go round and round, but, he takes folks with him, like willing satellites all bought-in to whichever task(s) are required to simply make great product.
Thank you Dug. and hopefully see you the next time around:-)
