I’m a User Researcher and UX Designer specialising in behavioural research, usability testing, and evidence-based product design. I uncover how people actually think, decide, and interact with digital products - then translate these insights into clear, code-ready UX design that development teams can implement immediately. My research work focuses on: • User interviews, behavioural analysis, and observational studies • Usability testing (moderated/unmoderated) • UX audits and heuristic evaluations • Journey mapping, decision mapping, and task analysis • Discovery research to validate product ideas and reduce assumptions Once the data is clear, I convert findings into: • Information architecture & user flows • Wireframes & low-fi prototypes • Actionable UX recommendations • Developer-ready documentation that speeds up delivery and reduces rework My approach is practical, structured, and deeply research-led. I’ve worked remotely for many years with agencies, startups, and community organisations - leading end-to-end research cycles, communicating insights to stakeholders, and shaping product direction with clarity and confidence. If you need a researcher who can drive product decisions, validate ideas, and deliver UX design aligned with real user behaviour, I’d be happy to support your project. Drop me a line and we can chat.

Designing good software really isn't as complicated as people pretend it is—just understand the need you are addressing, communicate clearly and remember that "users" are human beings. Where I help is in clarifying your vision, being an advocate for the user, and utilizing the necessary tools to make your product idea a reality. I am looking to work with clients who are thoughtful, efficient and understand the business value of high-quality contract work. Other things to note: • I primarily work in Figma, and am partial to Apple's product ecosystem, but am totally open to web projects and other devices. If it's got a screen, I'll make an interface that fits it. • I'm based in New Zealand, which is undeniably one of the worst time-zones to manage. That just means I've become an expert at asynchronous work, and don't mind late nights. • If you see me referred to as Hutch, it's a nickname, not some other bloke. I am a solo designer, and I complete all my work personally. Voice & Tone is a customer support consultancy I run separate to my software design trade. Alright that's it, I don't like talking about myself. Check out the client reviews in my Work History to get it straight from the source. Cheers
