Hello 👋

Hi, I’m Rich. I work at leading technology companies in product leadership positions, helping teams of product managers, engineers and designers to create world class applications.

I currently work at Just Eat Takeaway.com, as Global Director of Product. Did somebody say Just Eat?


SPEAKING & EVENTS

I have enjoyed speaking at events and have been featured on panels at a number of leading international product meet-ups, including…

  • Leadership Panel, Mind The Product
  • London Product Group
  • Tales from the Marketplace, ProductTank
  • Creating Wonderful UX, Future of Web Design

WORDS

.NET MAGAZINE

In Issue 239 of .net magazine I chatted to indie game developers about how easy it now is for web professionals to create an iOS and Android game. I also spoke to the leading mobile SDKs Corona, GameSalad, and Gideros.

In a feature on User Experience I wrote for Issue 234 of .net magazine, I argue that a healthy curiosity in human nature helps us create delightful sites and apps.

OFFSCREEN

I was a contributor to Offscreen magazine.

In issue #2 I interviewed the wonderful Ged Maheux from IconFactory.

In issue #3 I interviewed Chris Coyier from CSS Tricks on everything from working at Wufoo to the zombie apocalypse!

In issue #4 I interviewed Jeremy Keith about playing the bouzouki, and why his job as Technical Director involves a lot of goofing off on the Internet!

I also put together a handy international conference guide, so you’ll know where to spend your time (and money!).

In issue #5 I interviewed Jon Hicks about being a colourblind designer, creating globally recognised icons, and how cycling changed his life.

SMASHING MAGAZINE

I’ve written a number of articles for Smashing Magazine, including:

ASTEROID BLASTERS

I got bored in 2019 Christmas holidays, and so made an iOS game. It’s a take on Asteroids, and it rocks.
