Incremental improvements to your existing products and services aren’t always enough for today’s disruptive challenges. From emerging technologies, shifts in culture to accelerating climate change.

That’s why I provide innovation expertise through design-led special projects. With original blue sky thinking tied to pragmatic and directional design outcomes.

How I can help you take action

Unlock your expertise

Clarify your thinking

Make ideas tangible across your business & with future customers

Innovation Catalyst

Getting opportunities up & running

I establish product and service concepts from your opportunity areas. In order to accelerate and de-risk their early stages of development. To help get buy in from your stake holders and allow internal teams to move to the next stage.

 

Rehearsing the Future

Finding advantage in disruption

I explore the human and business potential of emerging technologies through speculative design and storytelling. Often with innovation in the user experience and product archetypes. Giving you the freedom to iterate, test and learn before having to be judged against ‘business as usual’ metrics. In order to find new avenues of opportunity, gain strategic insights and inform your future product development.

I enjoyed Matthew’s dynamism, positivity and most of all his flexibility and outstanding creativity! I just wish we’d had more time to give his magic more space.

Immersive Living Spaces

I spoke with The Future Laboratory's trends intelligence service, LS:N Global about our home becoming a more immersive living space. Where we are more than just consumers. Living more creative and participatory lives. Read more via the link (*subscription required *). A few take outs from my conversation below.

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗿𝗮 - Covid-19 has accelerated the use of our home as dynamic multi-functional spaces.

𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 - between devices and industry collaboration will enable more integrated smart home experiences.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 - in shared, multi-player experiences, moving away from single-user interfaces.

𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 - blending of the digital and the physical could begin to reshape the living spaces and objects in our home.

Prediction talk

I recently gave a talk in London alongside guest speakers from Meta and The London School of Economics. We explored the theme of prediction and the opportunities of increasing integration of generatitive AI in marketing, forecasting, and product development.

 

Sky Live launches!

Four years on from the North Star I helped create with Lee Sankey to inspire and guide innovation and execution for the Sky team. They bring social zoom calls, hands free immersive gaming, social watch parties and virtual personal training to their Sky Glass TV streaming platform.

 
He became one of my most trusted advisors. I have complete trust in Matthew from a creative and operational standpoint.
