About David Howell
Design Director at Concentrix Catalyst
Every job I’ve had and every project I've worked on has taught me something about design, people and business. I love diving into what drives people and business and how to get the two to come together.
I started off loving animation and flash then working for a print magazine doing layouts and ad design and album covers. Then I moved more towards the web, designing websites and creating full branding and marketing strategies as well as User Interfaces for web-based applications and delving into User Experience models.
The advent and the subsequent all-encompassing rise of mobile and tablet pushed me into responsive design and collaboration with front-end web development for frameworks and agile development.
Now I am diving into the psychology of the digital ecosphere, working with data (both quant and qual), research, testing, human-centred design practices, ideation cycles, design sprints, customer journey mapping and the list goes on.
I thoroughly enjoy unpacking a business to understand how it ticks, and whom it will appeal to, and working with great people to get those 2 to meet and make magic happen.
