Work

Selected Work

I got into product design sideways: web design first, then a detour into icon design.

Senior Product Designer
Bigtincan · 2020–2025
Lead designer on Content Hub, Bigtincan’s core product, used by 1,000+ companies. Shaped the Digital Sales Rooms direction, a six-week MVP retained an A$1M customer, and I redesigned Drive as a standalone product.
Product Designer
Bigtincan · 2015–2020
One of two or three designers as the company grew from one product into a multi-product platform. Launched Pitch Builder across web, iOS, Android and Windows, and overhauled the admin console.
Product Designer
Shiny Things · 2011–2015
Lead designer on Shape Lab, a geometry app for 5–7 year olds, featured in Apple’s Australian App Store hero banner and tested by teaching real lessons in real classrooms.
Senior UI Designer
glyFX (PerthWeb) · 2006–2011
Led a team of up to five designers, with hiring, onboarding and pixel-level quality standards for UI and icon work.

Each move brought me closer to the problem behind the interface.

About

Why I Design

Technology should be a multiplier. The best tools let people do things that aren’t possible without them, not a little faster. When the tools I needed don’t exist, I build them: 14 Figma plugins for the design team, and an MCP server that helps Claude build with our actual design system components.

Understand the problem before solving it. The problem definition is the part most likely to be wrong. When execution is cheap it’s tempting to build everything, but building the wrong things doesn’t make a team faster.

Build less, sooner. Shape Lab was feature-rich by the time it shipped, but it took too long to get there. Now I put something in the hands of users and iterate to find the right solution.

Hello from Sydney!

Kind words

I am able to put Simon on our most complex projects, with trust that he’ll make the right calls when it comes to UX/UI. He is an excellent systems thinker and enables me to step away from his projects with confidence.

VP of DesignBigtincan

I have always been amazed at your ability to whip up plugins for Figma and finding many ways to make our processes easier and more efficient. […] You made my job very easy, I never had a doubt that you could lead and execute every project on your plate, and I wouldn’t even need to worry about it.

Design System LeadBigtincan

Simon played a significant role in the successful launch of Bigtincan Drive. He took charge of the project and demonstrated leadership and expertise, requiring minimal involvement from me.

Design ManagerBigtincan

Simon continues to be a highly self-motivated and proactive contributor on the team. […] In team meetings, he asks thoughtful questions and makes helpful suggestions.

What I’m looking for

A senior+ IC role on a product people depend on for their work, with problems big enough that getting them right is important, a team that values evidence over opinion, and room to help other designers grow.

Outside work I’m into photography, learning languages, and building Ikea furniture.
