ABOUT VEN W.
With 18+ years of experience driving user-centric design solutions across web, mobile and TV, I care deeply about two things: building digital experiences that genuinely work for people, and building teams where designers feel supported to do their best work.For the last 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of heading up product design and UX for the award-winning Channel 4 streaming app. I’ve navigated the complex reality of a major broadcaster, leading a brilliant team through multiple phases of streaming transformation to build products that reach millions of viewers every day.I believe the best design work happens when teams have psychological safety, clear direction, and a strong bridge between user needs and business reality.It\'s a funny old evolving world for tech, and putting the human back into it has never been more important. Keep on being wonderful humans out there
