I'm Andrew Shanley.
experience Designer.
ux thinker.

A knowledgeable Experience Strategist, team-lead and creative thinker from Manchester, UK, I view Experience Design equally a philosophy as much as it is a versatile toolkit of methods and tactics.

I enjoy collaborating with teams and individuals in applying lean and user-centric methodologies proven to solve complex business problems. 

I revel in designing intuitive products which are a pleasure to use, especially those which provide clear and measurable value for both business and end-consumer. 

I'm also the Director of Experience Design at Beyond. Out of the office, I enjoy the vibrant offerings of New York City where I live – all without losing my English roots.
