Nick Wilson Design leader

I’m a London-based design leader with 20 years of experience across e-commerce, fintech, big tech, and startups. I specialize in building and leading high-performance, multi-disciplinary teams (design, research, content) to solve complex problems and drive business outcomes.

Passionate about innovation and challenging the status quo, I focus on creating collaborative, results-driven environments that empower teams to deliver user-centered design solutions. With a global perspective, I thrive in fast-paced, diverse settings, guiding teams to achieve meaningful impact.
