Hello,
I’m Bill Tribble. I’ve worked as a UX Design Director with startups, and a UX Lead in larger organisations.
I have two decades of professional experience in design, education, and media. Toptal consultant, General Assembly Lead Instructor. Design Sprint advocate, music technology developer, tech ethics mentor & moderator.
Ask me anything about design, UX, or product development.
I love how you can apply design principles and processes in so many areas – from UX, to visual design, to Lean product development.

Trainee DadI take ideas and turn them into products that users love, while meeting business objectives. I do this through Lean product strategy and a structured design process.
I’ve worked client-side and agency-side with everything from huge brands to tiny startups, on consumer and enterprise products used by billions worldwide. You can see case-studies of my recent work in my portfolio.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some fantastic colleagues and clients. Some of them were kind enough to write recommendations on LinkedIn – I’ve included a few here:
Loved working with Bill on Geniac. His creativity, robust designs, and hard work produced a fantastic site that we love, and our customers love too. Such a pleasure working with Bill and the Make Us Proud team.
Bill and the Make Us Proud team were a real pleasure to work with. Bill facilitated the design sprint for our mobile vision really effectively and ensured that we came out with a very professional and creative UX prototype in just a week. I was really impressed with the level of preparation Bill put in before the workshop, and how well he kept everyone focussed on the goals and the schedule, while also ensuring that everyone’s views and ideas were heard and taken into account. The UX design skills and experience Bill demonstrated were second-to-none and it would be a delight to work with him again.
Bill is a phenomenal all-around designer, whose innate curiosity gives him a 360-degree perspective I rarely encounter. An incredibly straight-to-the-point thinker, Bill can mentor projects of any scale or context, while always bringing a positive vibe to the room. He has a real aptitude when working with clients or more junior members of the team – enabling him to confidently coach people through design workshops, while always maintaining focus on the final objective – to deliver a great product for the users. Also, Bill’s a superb table-tennis player, and he’s always improving!
Bill was able to jump into a complex project mid-way and onboard quickly to help produce multiple prototypes for user testing at a critical period of the Discovery phase. Not only did he help moderate user tests, but also helped iterate the prototypes to deliver more than expected.
It’s nice to work with someone who continuously seeks to improve his knowledge and understanding of UX and design practices and principles. He is a great colleague to work with and learn from and I enjoy his can-do, positive attitude. I look forward to working with Bill again in the future.
I like to …
Design is more of a craft than an art.
I use a range of skills and techniques to create user-centred apps and services.
