About me
I’m a Principal Product Designer at BAE Systems, working at the intersection of product design, technology and engineering. I enjoy taking complicated problems, making sense of them and turning ideas into products people can actually use. I don’t just design things. I like to build them too. This website is one example.
My experience spans eCommerce, enterprise software and government, from consumer-facing products to large-scale digital platforms. I’ve worked across the full product lifecycle, from discovery through to design, development and launch.
More recently I’ve been exploring design engineering. I work with Figma, React and AI-assisted development, always looking to shorten the distance between an idea and something real.
Outside work I build small, free tools. One is an iOS app that generates AI voices entirely on-device, with no cloud processing, internet connection or account required. Building my own products lets me explore everything from interaction design to architecture, performance and privacy.
Testimonials
I don’t think I’ve worked with anyone as passionate and proactive about the design industry as Chris is.
When he’s leading the design team at JuicePlus+, he’s always looking to share valuable insights and knowledge with the team.
Chris is a pleasure to work with and an excellent UX/UI lead. We collaborated on multiple projects which were always completed to high standards. I particularly valued his ability to solve complex UX problems to tight deadlines.
I enjoyed collaborating with Chris on two key discoveries for a government end-client. His approach, in particular to capturing business value insights from our workshops, across multiple complex inputs, provided the team with a solid inventory that we were able to return to at key moments.
I enjoy working with Chris Elliott on website designs. He has been a great asset on large, complex and transformational projects. His knowledge of current UX/UI standards are remarkable and add a refreshing and pleasantly aesthetic look for our websites.
I had the pleasure of working with Chris while I was at the Juice Plus+ Company, and right from the start of working together you could tell that Chris was easy to talk to, and that he cares deeply about UX and what he does.
