Sam Barclay

Product designer, London UK

I like to think deeply about how things look feel and are made end-to-end, and work collaborative with a hands-on approach. I’ve spent 12+ years in design and have helped various teams solve complex problems.


I'm currently interested in new challenges and working with driven people.

Interests

I like a lot of sport, climbing, surfing although tricky in London, bikes too – road/gravel, mountain biking. Also enjoy keeping my hand in building work around the house. I also recently become a dad and value time with my new family.

I keep a camera like to try and take my camera with me where ever I go, the interest in photography, specificically street photography stems from editorial projects I have worked on in the past.
