● Adam King

I'm a Product Designer with over 10 years of experience in Product, Web, and Brand.

I'm proud to have worked with both established and new brands alike, such as: Allianz, Swiss Re, Electrolux, Cisco, MB Bank, PNC Bank, MediaTek, The Mechanical Licensing Collective, Innovate Finance, and AEG, to name a few.

I specialise in designing and developing user interfaces and digital products. I use my knowledge of user experience and brand to influence my designs. I believe that establishing empathy for people who use the experience you are designing for is the key to business success.

I'm currently focused on creating human-centred products for a HR Technology company.

I'm delighted to recommend Adam, a skilled UX/UI designer whom I recently had the pleasure of working with on a project for IncomeMax. In developing a new messaging service for IncomeMax, Adam brought a wealth of experience to the table and was able to offer valuable insights and recommendations throughout the project, making the process smooth and efficient.Clients always feel like they are in safe hands with Adam. He has excellent communication skills and keeps everyone on the same page, ensuring that projects run smoothly from start to finish.Overall, I highly recommend Adam as a UX/UI designer. He is talented, knowledgeable, and fun to work with, making him a valuable asset to any client.

Adam is one of those rare people who excels at numerous disciplines, great quality visual design, rich and well researched UX and in depth knowledge of accessibility. The thing I've really come to appreciate about working with Adam is that he will take a problem apart and approach in a systematic way. I know when I get a design from Adam that it's been considered from all angles and that I'm getting a complete solution and not just the happy path. He's great at collaborative working and opening the floor to everyone. I enjoy working with Adam a lot and I think you would too.

I’ve learnt so much from Adam in the time I spent working with him at Connectr. He has a natural talent for crafting visually stunning designs and a user experience that solve user problems seamlessly. He is an exceptional collaborator always managing to get the most out of the team around him. This is not only by ensuring they have everything they need to succeed but also by fostering an environment that encourages growth and creative thinking. I definitely recommend getting involved and working with Adam !

I had the pleasure of working with Adam over 3 years when I was Creative Director leading the team at Prophet London. I’d have no hesitation to recommend him as strong addition to any team. Great skills as a designer, continually looking for new ways to improve his craft though new technology and applications. Ability to engage with strategic teams and translate that into creative. Adam has a super can do attitude and leans in hard to any project. All round good guy to have on a team.

Adam has completely changed the way our product looks and feels, so much so that the design of the product is genuinely a USP of ours and has won us business over our competitors. He is an incredibly collaborative designer, working closely cross functionally with product, engineering, data & research - ensuring we make the best data-driven decisions for our users and paying customers. He has also had a wider impact than just in the product development function as he has supported us in our re-brand, we now have a brand our business is proud of and really represents our mission effectively, it has landed incredibly well with both our customers and our investors. He is such a talented designer but also just a joy to work with!

I had the pleasure of working with Adam on a number of engagements for a few different clients and I was always super impressed with the quality of his craft. Adam commands a powerful knowledge of digital experience and brand design, and was always able to bring me -- a strategist -- along for the ride. That’s what I liked best about working with Adam. He would always work with me and the other team members to challenge and consider all possible angles of an assignment. That type of thought partnership is so rare among digital designers. His presence at Prophet and on my team will be missed. Whoever hires him next should count themselves lucky.
