Freelance UX Research and Design Consultant
I help brands create effective digital experiences by removing guesswork and injecting rigorous user research and user-centered design.
Why work with me?
I’m an accredited designer
We Are Engines is led by me, Angus Carbarns. I have a decade of experience helping household names, startups and charities deliver better digital experiences.
I’m an experienced researcher
I come at UX research and design with a strong grounding in research methods, as well as a strong business sense. I carry out research that gets to the heart of what matters to produce insightful work.
I’m growth-focused
I not only understand how to carry out effective research that uncovers insights, but know how to translate those insights into clear actions that drive measurable growth for your website or app.
UX Research & Design Services
UX Strategy
You need a bulletproof UX Strategy to give your digital product or service its best chance of succeeding. By combining business strategy, validated user research and UX design, I help brands ship products and services that meet clearly defined audience, brand and market needs.
UX Research
User research is critical to understanding what shapes the needs, perceptions and motivations of your end users. I combine an academic background in qualitative research with years of practical experience to conduct depth interviews, focus groups, IA testing and more to arrive at insights that matter.
Usability Testing
There’s only one way you can reliably understand whether your site is as easy to use as you think it is: by testing it. I run user testing programmes that put software through its paces. This is key to identifying user pain points and opportunities for improvement.
UX/UI Design
Working from clearly articulated goals, I can design your site or app in full, from creating initial wireframes to code-ready high-fidelity prototypes.
“We had an excellent experience working with Angus and We Are Engines who facilitated and reported on user testing. They provided clear advice and flexible support. The feedback we received from our international client base having been through the user testing with We Are Engines was exceptional.”
