Tom Starley UX consultant, about me
Hey, nice to meet you, I’m Tom!
I’m passionate about increasing conversion and revenue for established online companies through expert UX and UI consultancy. I’ve been helping digital businesses better their online presence for quite some time; it’s a lot of fun and there’s never a dull moment.
A lot of businesses are just coming round to the huge benefits and value that great UX can bring to their products and I truly love working with these businesses. The web is a fast moving environment and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for companies to be able to do great things in all facets of their offering, (product, service, marketing, design etc) and set themselves apart from the competition. My products are highly targeted enabling me to provide genuine results for the companies I choose to work with, I’m all about providing value.
Over the past 15 years or so, I have worked with many top agencies and a lot of amazing clients, I have built a successful digital agency and have released a number of innovative products. I have talked at events, hosted a number of workshops and have been published in many design magazines, I have won awards for my work too. All of this has taught me first-hand how to create the most value in the many situations that UX relates to and how to avoid expensive pitfalls and roadblocks on the way to creating a successful digital product.
As a result, I have crafted a range of consultancy products designed to generate results fast and to get you moving; if you need to review your UI or UX, discuss issues and get a quick overview and update on your direction, the strategy call might be your best starting place. If you want to get to work and see results fast, you’ll find three tiers of in-depth UX audits that can get you moving, uncovering key UX issues and highlighting quick wins and changes you need to make now. I also provide custom consultancy and ongoing contracts which are specifically aimed at uncovering and fixing your ongoing UX and UI problems so you reap the most valuable rewards and obtain the greatest benefits.
I don’t work with everyone, I chose to only work with people and companies I genuinely know I can help and have a great relationship with. If I feel that I may not be suited to your particular project, I’ll tell you and let you know why. I pride myself on being honest and upfront with my clients and colleagues and I am not a yes man when it comes to decision making. If you’re hiring me for my knowledge and advice, I expect to be an active and valued voice within the business. I’ve found my clients appreciate and value my honest, direct approach to solving problems and in any case it yields the best results… but don’t get me wrong, work should absolutely be fun too. I’m based in Warwickshire (Midlands, UK) but work with clients nationally and internationally and enjoy the challenges this brings.
Away from work, I love travelling and the outdoors. I’m a keen footballer (soccer), I love playing the drums, cooking, reading, walking, brewing craft beer and gardening. I also enjoy making wooden spoons (yes really…)
I love to talk and love connecting with new people, so if you have any questions or would like to suggest a topic for my blog, please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you.
