I have been creating intuitive, usable, deliverable and commercially viable solutions for more than 15 years.
I immerse myself in projects while ensuring timely delivery with a strong focus on User Experience (UX). I am experienced in design, development, product management and business. During my work in the field, I have come to know that UX is a blend of the above expertise.

Whether you need me to join a team, lead one; I have experience in establishing cross-functional product teams and focused digital / UX teams. I can take complete ownership, or, serve a specific function.
I have delivered and established digital teams for large companies and small companies across a number of industries including finance, fintech, eCommerce, B2B, B2C, travel, cellular, media, retail, sports, fashion, grocery, gas and oil, FMCG, social and lean startups.
I had the pleasure of working with Xavier on a digital transformation project for a well-established company in the holiday industry. Xavier proved to be not only a brilliant UX and UI specialist, but also fantastic business and customer focused product lead. His extensive experience and technical knowledge, pragmatic approach and deep understanding of technical challenges and limitations allowed us to take the project to a whole new level, normally unseen in projects of this kind. I truly hope our paths will cross again in the future.
Working with Xavier was a true pleasure. The work that Xavier produces is highly detailed, polished and consistent. Xavier has an interest in all aspects of UI and therefore outputs designs that are easily transferable into code.
I worked with Xavier over a two year period at RS Components. Xavier is an extremely committed and highly dynamic UX designer who always produces high quality work on time. His ability to rapidly synthesis complex information and generate creative design concepts that solve complex problems sets him apart in the field. He shows a passion for understanding the customer and translating insights from research into his design work. His design skills are complemented with an impressive set of technical skills which allow him to delivery highly interactive prototypes - a dream for customer testing. Xavier is also a great team member who is transparent, inclusive and highly collaborative in his design practice. He’s also fun to work with :)
Xavier is an ideas machine. During Xavier’s time at RS he brought a broad range of skills to the UX team. The most notable of these was the ability to rapidly produce well thought out solutions that reflected the reality of complex design challenges. These concepts would often be efficiently developed into high fidelity prototypes which were then further iterated and improved in response to user research insights. In addition to this Xavier also helped the team be more effective through the introduction of new UX tools and methodology.
It was a pleasure working with Xav on a large e-commerce transformation project. Xav epitomises UX through and through (Jedi master). Xav always strives for the ideal solution that matches customer needs with business needs. Xav is superb at sharing his knowledge and experience with the team, as well as making sure he stays up to speed with the latest industry developments, which he will then share with his colleagues. I have no hesitation in working with Xav again on future projects.
Xavier is a great UI/UX professional. I was always surprised with the magic he can create in designs, and also implement with Web technologies. He was always challenging my skills to the very edge to achieve the best user experience possible. I could also always count on him. He was also learning other platforms development tools to better understand developers needs. He was always giving extra 10% more than he was supposed to.
Xavier is a a great colleague to work with. He is motivated and always delivers on time. Xavier uses his initiative and is not afraid to work outside of his comfort zone to offer assistance where needed. Xavier is also an excellent team player. He effectively managed and mentored a team of UX consultants and creative designers and delivered quality training on process and creativity. It would be a pleasure to work with Xavier again.
Xavier is an experienced UI architect with passion for innovative approach to UI design. Working with me on an omni-channel program for a major retailer he demonstrated great aptitude for creating and driving UX vision in adherence with UI architectural standards and best practices. He also did a great job continuously evaluating and improving UX delivery process in a complex client/multi-vendor environment. I wish him all the best in his career pursuit.
Xavier is an awesome guy with tons of experience and an incredible work ethic. He's one of those few creatives that can not only inspire people, but manage them towards producing exceptional work. I would not hesitate to work with Xavier again.
Xavier is one of the few UX people that I have met and worked with that has a firm grasp on the discipline and can get results. If you need your App, or website to be user centric and more successful, use him.
I have worked with Xavier on two separate projects where he delivered the design and interface for two dotMailer product features. He is fantastic at what he does and deeply understands how the clients interact with the system and the ergonomics between the two. He communicates UX concepts well, with those that don't understand the principles. I enjoy working with him as is always eager to share his ideas.
Xavier was critical in guiding me through the design process so that the end results were as beautiful as I needed them to be. Always willing to take on my ideas, pushing back when needed, taking them on board when they were spot on. Xavier is a quality hire - you know that the work will be top notch and you trust that it will be done on time.
We hired Xavier to re-architect the interface for a very complex data project at dotMailer. He grasped the complexity of the data exceptionally quickly, and enabled us to build something that was aethsetically pleasing, commercially viable, and intuitive (and got us the user testing data to prove it).
I hope to hire Xavier for future projects and would definitely recommend hiring him for your UX/UI work.
I have hired Xavier as a UX Architect on a contract basis several times now, and will certainly be hiring him again in the future, when my next project comes around. I have found him to be an excellent communicator with industry leading skills, who was able to add value to our business in a very short space of time. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced UX practitioner.
Xavier is a tenacious UX designer: he does whatever it takes to deliver the best solution. He can deliver on the details without losing sight of the big picture stuff, and is well-rounded in his skill-set - he's visually orientated but 'gets' the technical aspects of projects . A great guy to work with.
Xavier is one of those extremely rare people who is able to deliver a combination of UX, UI and Build, all to a very high standard.
He listens, takes the initiative, understands objectives and is able to run with concepts and designs under his own steam without constant direction. Furthermore, the end product is of a consistently high standard. Xavier works extremely quickly and efficiently, and takes feedback with complete professionalism.
I would definitely recommend Xavier for UX/UI work and will be hiring him again.
Xavier has a natural talent for design and UX. His ideas are fresh and his designs clean and effective. He has a good grasp of what's needed for today's fast moving digital landscape. He works well with developers (both front end and back end) and has a good understanding of mobile development and web based interface design. He's likeable personally and is confident in his own abilities but is also willing to compromise and seek advice during the course of his work.
