We're now just 5 days away from UXDXs first London Community event "The UX Approach Blueprint" and it gives me great pleasure to introduce our speaker. He's an industry leader in the Design world and an old friend of UXDXs, the wonderful Mr Ashley May. Ashley is an experienced product designer. Curious, compassionate and collaborative, he’s motivated to build meaningful products and tools that help people do The Thing – learning a new skill, building financial security, or making an unfamiliar journey safely. He has extensive experience the fields of finance, mobility, SaaS and e-commerce. He’s also passionate about accessibility, and growing the skills and operational culture of UX teams to ensure all the people can do all The Things. Ashley has worked as a solo consultant, as part of an agency model and in an embedded UX function of a successful product. In his own words "I will bring my perspective to light through a series of vignettes, possibly with a coherent logical thread. We’ll see." - well, we have no doubts Ash and we can't wait!
