Karl is a consummate information architect: intelligent, imaginative and perfectionist in his approach. He is as capable in strategic work and client liaison as he is in detailed information architecture and interaction design. Versatile, professional and a great team player, Karl is a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend him without reservations.

I had the pleasure of working with Karl while at Wheel. Karl is one of the most professional and gifted Inofrmation Architects I have worked with while in the online space.

His insights and delivered work were based on a solid understanding of online and customer/online interactions. Karl had a great ability on explaining his receommendations to clients in a clear and sound manner.

I had the pleasure of working with Karl on a large consumer focused site redesign project. Karl is probably one of the best information architects that I have had the opportunity to work with. His attention to detail and his ability to work under pressure was key to a successful delivery.

In addition to his excellent user experience skills, Karl is a great person to work with and someone who I could trust to deliver in any situation.

I worked with Karl on a small but challenging UX project. He has excellent clarity of vision and was full of smart and actionable insight. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Karl has been a dream UX consultant to work with and has played a pivotal role in helping Sightsavers develop a new user driven digital strategy.

I can't agree more with all the positive comments in the recommendations below, he is truly excellent in all respects. Karl knows his subject matter inside out, is incredibly personable with stakeholders and end users alike, he is highly reliable (both at the start and end of the project) and delivers great results.

Karl and Usability Savvy were hired towards the end of 2011 to deliver wireframes / UX for a large-scale website relaunch and a suite of new products. The project is complicated and wide-ranging and, like all initiatives of this size, subject to complex inter-dependancies and budgetary/time constraints. Karl has delivered everything we could have wanted, and more: creative, easy-to-implement workable solutions founded on deep expertise; a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our expectations were not only met but exceeded; and everything - without exception - delivered on time and to budget.

Karl has laid solid foundations for websites and web products that we aim to be truly useful, engaging, relevant and enjoyable for our audiences. He and his team were a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to engage him on similar projects in the future.

Karl is a great addition to any team developing user-cerntered digital work - be it for a pitch or for the planning and architecure of a website or digital solution... We have worked with Karl a handful of times and everyone who has had the opportunity to work with him has learned a great deal and enjoyed the journey - due to his expertise and personable nature! I highly recommend Karl - just wish we could clone him.

Having worked with Karl for a number of years, I firmly believe that he is one of the best e-commerce focused UX designers out there.

He is multi-disciplined, future-focused, extremely efficient and a joy to work with. I look forward to our continued relationship with him at Pod1.

Karl is probably one of the best (if not the best) UX professional I have ever worked with. He is clever, pro-active, quick, excellent at understanding complex requirements, managing the client, thinking out of the box and finding UX solutions. He has fantastic communication and presentations skills, is a great team player and does not lack emotional intelligence.... all in all an excellent UX consultant. On top of all this he is a very nice and down-to-earth guy.

In one word - Karl delivers. Full stop! It's hard to find a rare gem like Karl. He is a true expert and turns the most complex visions into reality.

Karl was recommended by one of our team members who swore by Karl's work and even went to the extent of personally guaranteeing what Karl would deliver. After 8 months I would do the same. He has significantly contributed to the foundations of our business helping us to secure partners and investors - all of whom sing the highest praises for the prototype Karl created.

Karl is deeply passionate, diligent and hard working. He's very selective about the clients and work he takes on so we feel very privileged to be working with him. You can expect incredible attention to detail and very thorough processes.

We're huge fans and hope to continue working with Karl.
