Author of Lean UX

Spencer is a talented and unique individual. He's a designer with broad skills beyond design. He's a product guy who gets people. He's a technologist who understands design. His experience working at the intersection of these disciplines gives him a rare empathy and insight. His skill in agile and lean methods makes him a practical, grounded problem solver. And his experience brings the wisdom you need.

Spencer supercharged the career development and the quality of work being done by members of my team. Coaching someone who was UX-curious, he helped turn them into a burgeoning Service Designer, in the process transforming how the entire team works together.

Chief Operating Officer

Spencer's experience across product, engineering, customer, commercial and design was the perfect combination for a scale up like ours. His versatility and blend of questioning, coaching, advising and proactivity quickly won the trust of the CEO and senior team and added value from the start across a range of disciplines. After 6 month's of work we think of Spencer as one of our own.

Spencer is excellent at what he does.

He helped us to finally reframe our hard science product into an appealing consumer proposition.

Spencer worked with us to design and deliver online workshops, helping us understand and prioritise our customer segments, define our value proposition, refine our membership offering and improve our content clarity.

Spencer is patient, thoughtful and knows when to challenge people on their assumptions. This helps them to think about all aspects of user experience. I've learnt a lot from his experience and broad approach to topics.

For us at Rare: its a no brainer, we've found our guy.

Apart from just being an end to end encyclopaedia on developing digital products, Spencer is by a significant margin the best person I’ve worked with at creating products and tools that people engage with (in the right way).

Spencer's passion for building the best possible products and services really showed when I worked with him. His facility in multiple disciplines means that he's a fantastic communicator and collaborator across the whole organisation.

He challenged us to be more forward thinking in our customer research and took the time to speak to all areas of the business to thoroughly understand the processes, people and politics involved in change, coaching in lean approaches and fostering cross-departmental collaboration.

Our coaching sessions proved to be such a success that Spencer was subsequently asked to work with our team to help us build out documentation and a service map. Spencer’s warm, intuitive approach to people is proving invaluable in building buy-in from internal stakeholders and unlocking valuable insights. I look forward to working more with Spencer over the coming months!

Rob Calvert

Rob Calvert

Product Leader, Advisor and Coach

I hired Spencer as a Lean Product coach and consultant. He has a fantastic, deep understanding of Lean principles and product development as a whole.

That's a great thing to draw on in itself, but when combined with years of experience - and being an all-round good chap - it's a combination that is a huge benefit to any individual or organisation.

Senior Product Manager

Spencer is an absolutely great Principal Product Manager. He has a keen passion for helping people really understand and identify their own and their client's needs.

He very cleverly facilitates the process of building a clear plan forwards that pretty much becomes the baseline to the project.

Spencer's ability to ask questions, understand users needs and transform them into a second to none user experience is absolutely mind blowing. His attention to detail, care and love of his work makes him one of the most valued UX professionals I have ever come across.

I would recommend Spencer to any team, entrepreneur or agency looking for a world class user experience in their application or product!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Spencer. He takes time to understand a client's needs, and he puts the focus squarely on the user.

Spencer is an asset to any team and his passion for building the best possible products and services really showed when I worked with him. His facility in multiple disciplines means that he's a fantastic communicator and collaborator across the whole organisation.

Damon Davidson

Spencer's a great asset since he can do anything in the design "stack".

In past projects, we totally underused him and were still delighted by the results he produced.
