Product × Technology × Experience

Nigel Clarke

Product & technology innovator for ambiguous, 0→1 problem spaces.

I explore, inspire, and de-risk new products by combining design strategy and technical depth. Well-scoped prototypes learn from users and stakeholders in days or weeks rather than months or years.
