Each organisation and project brings a unique set of opportunities and challenges.

This can be related to UX, or wider organisational issues e.g.

  • Have you a manager that you are struggling to get buy-in with?
  • Dealing with an under-performing UX product team member?
  • Dreading an upcoming UX workshop or presentation?
  • Understanding B2B <> B2C user research methods?
  • Afraid you are leading the engineering team down the wrong path?


The UX institute prides itself on providing a network of successful UX professionals who have climbed to, and operated at senior levels in a wide range of companies from complex corporates to high-growth start-ups.

We match by relevance, experience and rigorously validate the feedback you give us on each session.

"We have worked with UXI for over four years reimagining UI/UX on our core products. UXI's workshopping, and collaborative design sessions have allowed us build highly usable enterprise SaaS products. UXI have helped us create new product line concepts, new user experiences and interaction models. UXI has played an important part in driving a strong customer experience for our customers."

"Working with UXI has been a major benefit either personally through my own learning but more importantly through the work achieved with various cohorts of teams from a startup background and corporate background. It goes without saying that working with UXI will end up with the client or cohort understanding the fundamentals as well as having a winning advantage in the core product they offer thanks to their work."

Mark and team were instrumental in getting our prototypes developed and facilitation of best practice approach to in-field testing with customer workshops.

"As part of a greenfield project to develop a new platform, I asked UXI to consult with us to help share our thinking on user experience. UXI were a pleasure to deal with and brought us out of the trenches and helped us to think more strategically about what best practice user experience should look like for our domain. UXI went further than their remit and also helped to shape our requirements for developers to ensure best in class user experience was a priority. UXI gave usable, practical guidance that we could apply immediately. I would highly recommend using UXI for any user experience or digital product build project."

Mark was one of the lead contributors on our UX bootcamps and masterclasses. He delivered fresh, industry-focused content to equip any learner with the skills and knowledge they needed to succeed in UX. He brought a modern focus to the curriculum covering design around software, digital and SaaS products. His breath of knowledge and practice was evident as he mentored and workshopped with students on everything from the idea conception right up to product launch and beyond. He also taught very robust business and commercial aspects that were invaluable to action-led approach we took to course design. He is a top-notch design practitioner and his energy and teaching style were always focused on the best outcomes for the student.

Mark was my UX mentor in 2019, since then I have had a few job opportunities in the industry and have really settled in. A lot of his practices are very beneficial and can be seen being used on a day-to-day basis in the real work field. I couldn't be more thankful for his patience and teachings that have helped shaped me to the product designer I am toady. Thanks Mark!

Mark was my mentor for a UX Design course I took through Springboard. He was very helpful and I felt like I learned a lot; he’s also very easy to work with and has great communication skills.

It's been great working with the team here on a lot of different projects including training for corporate teams, early stage startups and guest events to our global community for early stage tech founders. They have a great way of working with their different audiences and I personally always come away learning something new so I would highly recommend getting in touch with the team.

Mark is an honest, experienced, and human UX designer. He has helped me gain the knowledge that only comes from years of experience doing UX with real clients - the things that many courses or books often miss. Believing that UX is ever-growing, Mark will never claim himself to be the UX expert; however, his knowledge around the digital world is well worth learning under. Thank you, Mark!

The support and mentoring I received from Mark was second to none, I now feel more confident to approach complex UX issues and provide a better experience for the users of my own site and those of my clients. Couldn't recommend UX Institute highly enough, a fantastic deep learning experience delivered in such a relaxed and well-structured manner.
