Product Designer · UK

Dan Walker Hi, I'm Dan

I've always been curious about how things work. That curiosity started during my fine art degree and grew into over a decade building digital products — from freelance work to designing internal systems at enterprise scale.

I specialise in complex system design, high-fidelity prototyping, and building design practice in organisations where none previously existed. I work closely with engineering and product, and I'm as comfortable in a research session as I am in Figma or writing code.
