Trevor H.

Hybrid design/product lead

I've been building digital products for over 10 years, first as an individual contributor playing almost every role on a product team, then as a product and sales leader, and now as a solo digital strategy & design consultant.

I approach building effective digital products and businesses with a focus on building capacity, process, and strategy. My work with clients is never one-dimensional. I'll build your first prototype or redesign your product or website, but in doing so I aim to improve your organisation.

During the course of a project, I quickly build an understanding of the business context and objectives that my initiative sits within (and question these when relevant), define or redefine processes as needed, and take time to help my peers become stronger contributors. You don't hire me to stick to a tight script. You hire me to leave your team, product, and business stronger than when I started.

I usually work with 2-3 clients at a time, mostly on long-term projects (usually at least 3 months). I'm not looking for quick, transactional work. I'm here to build partnerships with amazing people and organisations. I've worked with World Resources Institute, Accenture, Canon, PwC, the European Commission, Boston Consulting Group, and a number of venture-backed startups, nonprofits, and venture capital firms.

I'm based in Amsterdam, but I've worked with clients on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
