Getting better-designed products to market faster.

Outcome-driven product design that cuts through complexity, mitigates risk and drives measurable growth for innovative B2B organisations.

Barry Prendergast - Product & Service Designer

About Me

I help ambitious organisations get better products to market faster by focusing on the metrics that matter.

I believe that great design comes from bold ideas, timely conversations with the right people, rigorous testing against the right metrics in lean, iterative cycles. I try to tackle the hardest problems by listening closely, communicating clearly and collaborating openly by default.

My design approach balances strategic clarity with research and design excellence, while responding to the everchanging needs of an agile product team. I help teams to cut through distractions, to adapt when things don’t go to plan, and to stay focused on what matters most—to the teams and their customers alike.
