About Me

I'm Stewart Orr

I’m a Senior UX-focused product designer with 25 years’ experience creating user-centred, accessible digital products across the full design lifecycle.

I work across discovery, user journeys, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing and iterative delivery, collaborating closely with product, engineering and stakeholders. My work combines considered, intuitive UI design with strong visual hierarchy, interaction clarity and accessibility, supported by a front-end development background enabling end-to-end ownership and high-quality implementation.
