product design leader
john williams taylor is a hands-on design leader who specialises in enabling and scaling product design as a discipline to support growing and established businesses — whether as a the first design hire a company makes, or supporting an existing group of designers, researchers, and writers.
utilising over 20 years of design experience, john focuses on understanding, distilling, and simplifying complex problems and opportunities into intuitive, delightful, and empowering solutions that make a meaningful difference in peoples' day-to-day lives. and having most-recently led product design teams at google, fitbit, monzo, wise, and ef education first, john has shipped, iterated, redesigned, and reimagined product experiences that billions of people use on a daily basis.
john does not have an online portfolio. so much more goes into design and design leadership than a pdf or set of slides can really capture or speak to accurately. but, if you'd like to see any of his work please get in touch and he'd be happy to set up some time to share anything of interest.
john offers both ad-hoc and fixed term product design consulting services. whilst happy to offer guidance and direction on most product and business challenges he specialises in early-stage product development and ideation. please get in touch to learn more.
john is also happy to provide support and advice for anyone starting out in design, or needing career advice - free of charge. reach out if he can help.
