Johnny Isaacs - UX Designer, Explorer, Entrepreneur, Optimist
Together we can do better
Endlessly curious, hyper energetic and never satisfied. My approach could best be described as:
"Naive enough to start, stubborn enough to finish."
Thank you Ross Edgley for putting that far better and more succinctly than I ever could.
I believe that designers can change the world. We're uniquely posititioned at the frontier of ideas and technology to shape, mould and create a vision for the future. One that's yet to be imagined, one that's better than where we are right now. That has always excited the hell out of me and it's an enormous privilege.
I have worked across a wide range of industries and with a number of client types from startups to Fortune 100 companies. The thing each one of these companies has had in common is that they were leaders in either their space or their thinking. I like to work with people who see the world a little differently and who are driven by a cause or purpose.
If you're the same, I'd love to work with you too. Grab a copy of my CV below, check out some of my recent projects or get in touch by phone or email and lets go change the world!
What others have to say
Don't just take my word for it. Here's some words from the folks I have been lucky enough to work with.
"I worked with Johnny several years ago in the formation of my firm. He was very creative, a solid communicator and respected both timelines and budget. What I recall so clearly was a knack for relating to people. This allowed us to get up to speed quickly and minimized miscommunications and therefore revisions. Johnny is also very attentive, not in the least defensive, and very intent on understanding the objectives and constraints. lastly, he is creative and innovative in his approach. A great find if you have the opportunity to work with him."
Marilyn Sanford
Co-Founder and CEO -LincEdge
"Having worked with Johnny for several months on a high-profile and prestigious project it became clear very quickly that he is a rare mix of creative, logical, client-facing and process minded talent. In particular, I was impressed with his truly outstanding "can-do" approach to his work and drive for excellence, which, in the industry we work is extremely important. Johnny is just as good when pitching complex ideas to clients as he is working through the details of what a great customer experience should look like. He is a great asset to any team and cannot recommend him highly enough."
Vishal Katelia
Luxury Retail Innovation - Store of the Future at Farfetch
"Normally you would have to decide between a Visual designer with basic UX capabilities or vice versa. Johnny is the rarity, the full spectrum, his UX and Visual design are of the highest level.
He is a natural leader, in best sense of the word, with enthusiasm and passion for his work that is infectious to all that works with or for him. For those that work for him he will always have time to help give context to problems, and the patience and freedom for them to arrive to a solution.
My experience working with Johnny has been delightful, even the most stressful and frustrating of situations, as I knew I had a true team mate that was as dedicated to his work as I was. He has the wear with all to spot people’s strengths and allow them to shine, therefore getting the best from each person, whilst keeping them engaged and passionate about their work.
You could not have a safer and honestly best bet than him in your corner!"
Monica Sibaja Gonzalo
User Experience Strategist - Springer Nature
"Johnny is one of the hardest working and passionate designers I know! I had the pleasure of working with during my time at Farfetch where he was the Lead UX Designer on the Store of the Future project. He not only encouraged the team to push themselves but to also question what we were doing during the design process. He was always there to support and defend his team during challenging conversations which I personally value in a leader.
I also had the opportunity to work with Johnny at Explosive Brands where I experienced working with a fully remote team for a pitch. We were able to work quick and agile due to the passion and drive that Johnny exuded during this time, ensuring communication was clear and consistent to help us deliver on time.
I hope to work with him again in the future!"
Courtney Carman
Senior Product Designer - REA Group
"Johnny is a pleasure to work with in every sense.
He is friendly, hard working, and extremely skilled. Ultimately, he is a problem solver who will always get the job done.
We have worked together since I started at LloydsPharmacy in 2013 and we've faced some challenging projects together. Yet at every turn he has been a reliable source of UX knowledge, front-end dev, and design flair, all with a smile on his face.
A true asset on any team."
