How I can help
Strategy
With the rapid expansion of HCD and digital over the last 20 years, I have helped companies understand what is need to excel. The mistakes most companies make is hiring a few senior people and thinking they will solve all your problems. But business transfomation is just as important.
Teacher/Mentor
For the past 8 years, I have been on a mission to give back to the industry I love. Training over 1300 people and large organisations on when, how, what and why of HCD design. My students work all across the globe in big name companies delivering on the promise.
Executive Designer
I love to be hands on too. You can't up with the trends just attending meetings. I am as happy on the tools and mucking in to solve probems as I am sitting in front of a C Suite team presenting.

Experience
Delivering
Helping companies
I believe design is a one way to help companies achieve their goals. From optimising what you have, increasing and creating efficency to just making your customer happy, HCD is the process of findings the right things to work on.Experience is the difference between doing what everyone else is doing (and probably making the same mistakes) and focusing on your goals, your customers and your revenue to create things that work for anyone.
Trusted by many
We have been working wth Grant and the team at YUZA for three years. His ability to scale up a team, understand our business needs and deliver is unprecendent here.
Grant has been a supportive mentor and manager for me in the field of User Experience design. Grant is passionate about UX and up to date with the latest tools and techniques. Grant’s practical way of teaching has made me confidently feel as though I can apply UX tools to any of my own projects. Grant has taught me valuable UX processes that aim to meet the users need and expectations, whilst also meeting the businesses objective. I would highly recommend Grant as a mentor in UX, because of Grant, I can apply UX methods to my projects and I also understand why each method is beneficial.
Grant was a great manager and taught me a lot about his approach to User Experience. He provided the team with strong leadership and was very respected within the company. During his time with Trinity Mirror he introduced a lean prototyping user focused mentality to the UX process that we still use today. He ran several focus groups and provided a lot of valuable insights for the business to act on. His ability balance user needs, drive innovation and link these to commercial objectives was very impressive. I highly recommend Grant and would really like to work with him again. .
