WHAT THEY SAID
Pete was a key member of the project team on two very important high profile strategic projects which he executed brilliantly. So much so, he was invited to deliver a speech alongside the project lead at the World Usability Congress.
I wish I had a job opening as I'd love to work beside Pete again, but I will have to content myself instead with this recommendation.
Pete will be an asset to any organisation. His intelligence, design skills, work ethic and all round niceness will make him a fantastic hire, and I have no doubt he is going to go very far. I look forward to watching the next stage of his career with interest.

Peter delivered a superb talk at World Usability Congress 2016 on how to design modular systems, based on his work at The Telegraph.
He very clearly articulated the context, framed the problem, and broke down the process and methodology of how he and his team approached modular design.
Equally impressive were the interactions I had with him throughout the conference where I found him to be incredibly cordial, sharp, and genuine. A great speaker, design thinker, and all-around great guy, I hope that I'll have the opportunity to collaborate with Peter in the near future!

Pete is a hugely talented designer and one of those people who just gets it. And what's more, he's a lovely chap.
He played an important role on several high profile, complex projects and was never fazed by any of the challenges he took on. He was constantly learning new skills and techniques along the way. He's curious and not afraid to ask difficult questions, making him a great problem solver.
Pete is great at communicating and presenting his ideas, he's passionate and clearly cares about the work he does. He has a really bright future ahead and he'd be a huge asset to any organisation. I hope we get a chance to work together again in the future.
