Bio
John Quingua
I enjoyed working with Saulius during my brief contract work at Tesco Bank. He has excellent attention to detail, great designer and is able to describe his ideas in detail. I highly recommend him and will be a valuable part of your team.

Excellent full-stack UX designer. I’ve worked with Saul for several years on a multiple robo-advice related user-journeys and it’s rare to find an all-rounder of Saul’s skill; someone who can deeply understand the customer need/behaviour/fear and rapidly translate that into a credible, well thought out design. And what really helps is his ability to motivate the user through friction – by removing unnecessary friction in the first place but also actively considering how to manage friction and smooth the path. But what I enjoy most about working with Saul is the collaboration. We start with the problem, and the conversation we want to have with the user. No big formal briefs needed. He’ll listen, question and think it through, then come back with a concept that goes right to the heart of the problem. He’ll actively encourage feedback and challenge, then uses that to come back with an iteration that’s more robust, more elegant and often more motivating for the user.
