Andy Thelwell — User Experience Designer

I am a multi-skilled and formally-trained User Experience professional with over 10 years’ experience designing, developing and managing digital projects for a variety of audiences across a range of sectors.

Since 2008, I've been happily employed by Autodesk, a world leader in 3D design software for the manufacturing, building, engineering and entertainment sectors. Over the last three years or so, I've been working as part of Autodesk's construction business: implementing new design processes, designing a range of new features, revamping the UI, carrying out user research and generally flying the UX flag throughout the organisation.

Before joining Autodesk, I spent six years working for award-winning digital agency RE:MEDIA, where I designed and managed a diverse range of creative and technical projects, from slick promotional websites to complex data-driven apps to immersive 3D experiences.

Thanks to this wealth of experience and my academic design training, I'm proud to say I have an outstanding 'generalist-specialist' skillset, which is a precious commodity in today's increasingly digital world.

I am passionate about design and love solving problems. I strive for excellence in everything I do. I understand technology and aesthetics in equal measure but, above all, I care about users and believe strongly in user-centred design.

I live near Sheffield, UK, with my wife, Esther, and baby son Stanley.
