Welcoming Anthony Harrison to the Omnia Team as Head of UX Design Strategy
What is UX Design Strategy?
“Officially speaking I lead businesses, ideas and teams with design.
Unofficially speaking I make things that people want, not make people want things.”Anthony applies design & strategy to identify, highlight then resolve business & customer problems.
OR another approach her takes is to apply creative talent to realise future states and fresh ideas.
As an early adopter, proponent & advocate of UX Design – Anthony has been professionally designing, researching and strategising since the late 90s’ and has worked globally with many different agencies and consultancies to bring to life the Design Experience.
How is UX design applied in practice?

– end-user research activities (primary, qual & quant)
– insights informed decision making
– accessibility compliance, holistic design system (RUBIK)
