Turning service design principles inward to maximise team effectiveness

Every supplier, customer, and organisation practices different design engagement models and ways to manage people in the lifecycle of a project.

Every team could benefit from a map for what to expect when joining a new org, getting onto a new project, or serving a client with different practices from their own.

“From day one, Duncan was very welcoming when I joined and helped me settle in as the second visual design hire at the company after himself.

Duncan is an extremely inclusive and approachable person. He is a very talented Visual Designer, UXer, Creative thinker, Strategist and Illustrator. Duncan's knowledge of design theory and approach to problem-solving is second to none and I have been fortunate enough to learn from him and use his methods.

He is a very collaborative professional and works great with others and his stakeholder management is something to behold.

He has been an advocate for visual design at Kanios and really helped develop a storytelling culture within our capabilities and in our customer work. He also set up a 'Design Club' where other designers at Kainos who were interested in visual design could attend monthly to share work and talk about the importance of visual design and storytelling.”
