Senior Interaction Designer

Hi! I’m Sean, lead designer with over a decade of shipping experiences on apps and web.

Currently working on GOV.UK One Login at GDS, formerly the BBC. Have a look at selected case studies, side projects playground and my CV.

Case studies

The GOV.UK One Login app's start screen: the service name, two short lines saying what it is for, and a single green sign-in button held at the foot of the phone.

Proving who you are, to government

Designing the native iOS and Android apps for GOV.UK One Login and Wallet, where identity, trust and accessibility have to work for everyone in the country.

The redesigned My Feeds on desktop and on a phone: named feeds like Chinese influence and Middle East crisis sit side by side as columns on the wide screen, and stack into a single scrollable column on the phone.

All your feeds, at a glance

Led the redesign of My Feeds for BBC Monitoring’s global customers, from brief and roadmap through workshops, prototypes and build with an external agency. Now live, with strong early feedback from customers.

Three phone screens from the native Live concept: a match page with a Watch live button, the same page with the video playing inline above the live reporting, and a Now playing sheet listing the other live streams for the match.

A native Live experience?

Co-led the discovery that reimagined BBC Live as native. The prototypes and research aligned three product roadmaps and joined the BBC Live funding case.

Title card for the fandom research: the word Fandom cut out of moving footage, so clips of performers and crowds play through the letterforms.

Fandom: being the voice of the user

Prototyped three fan-experience features for the BBC and validated them in weeks. Every participant said the live vote would make shows more engaging.

ODI's transparency portal on desktop and mobile: a top-five country funding table beside a bar chart, a world map pinned with the countries funded, and a breakdown of where the money comes from and which sectors it goes to.

Making financial data transparent

Designed and led ODI’s IATI-compliant transparency portal. £115M of funding published openly, and donors rated it highly user-friendly in quantitative research.
