This isn't a Confucius situation.
Hello...
I’m Paul Mackenzie, a product designer with 15+ years of experience shaping ideas into things people actually want to use.
I work from the South West of England with companies across the globe, bringing a bit of order, clarity, and charm to the chaos of building digital products.
I've worn so many hats, I have now resorted to wearing a shoe instead.
What I care about.
Good software solves a problem. Great software does it with a little spark, something that makes the user smile, breathe easier, or not notice the design at all.
That’s what I aim for: not just clean interfaces, but experiences that feel right.
I believe in thoughtful decisions, clean systems, and trusting your gut, especially when your gut is backed by user data and about 2,000,000 rectangles.
Beyond the pixels.
My passion for creating goes beyond digital design, and extends toward music and real-world art. I create ambient works as Oykoi and build small scale projects to help solve small problems.
