Grant Clark
With over 20 years of hands-on design and story-telling experience across UX/UI design, digital marketing, creative content, and now of course, integrating AI into all of that, I’ve built a career delivering high-impact digital products and campaigns for leading agencies, fast-paced startups, and global brands across the US, Europe and Africa.
I can work in messy start-ups or large process driven corporates. I’ve led design teams, driven solo projects, and managed stakeholders in agile environments - always with a strong focus on user experience, storytelling, and delivering real value. My background in English and Psychology, combined with certifications in UX/UI and Digital Design, gives me a unique lens on how people think, feel, and interact with technology.
Outside of my creative work (and often alongside it), I like to push boundaries in other ways. Like cycling 11,000km solo from Cairo to Cape Town or being selected to be a part of the record breaking Endurance22 expedition that found Ernest Shackleton’s long-lost shipwreck in Antarctica. It sounds trite perhaps, but these adventures have genuinely continued to shape how I think, lead, and design. With bold creativity, purpose, calmness and a sense of curious exploration.
