Hi. I’m Damo.
I’m an Experience Design Lead, Researcher, Strategist and Creative leader
But what do I do?
I solve business problems.
Problems which require behaviour change. Whether that's a customer, the public or staff.
Behaviour change comes from creating desire to change, or making it easier to change.
We better know creating desire as advertising, and we better know making things easier as design thinking. And these days, somewhere between the two, is behavioural science.
I use all three to help my
clients and their customers.
What problems
do i solve?
I’ve helped a supermarket boost sales by reminding people Christmas isn't just Christmas day
I’ve helped a university fix why students don't understand what services are offered by redefining their brand.
I’ve helped a telco use behavioural science so their most expensive plan looks like a good deal.
I’ve helped a breakdown service understand which customers rely on them most and why.
I’ve helped a health service understand why patients aren't making bookings and how to drive more.
I’ve helped encourage older parents to vote for their grand children’s future.
How have I learned these skills?
I jokingly tell people I have three brains.
Or three careers of knowledge.
for 11 years
I worked in the banking sector
as a statistician and strategy consultant before retraining as a graphic designer.
for 7 years
I worked in the advertising industry
as an Art Director, unlearning my corporate mindset so I could come up with better ideas.
for the last 7 years
i've worked in experience design
where I’ve learnt to understand the customers perspective and the problems they face.
Today I use all three to find ways to influence behaviour.
My research and analysis background give me the ability to find the problem that's hiding behind the problem.
