Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Armstrong is an interaction designer with nine years’ experience helping UK public-sector organisations turn complex policy and admin processes into usable services. He’s delivered work across discovery to live for departments including the Cabinet Office, Home Office, HMCTS and the Department for Education, often focusing on internal user journeys for caseworkers as well as public-facing services. A hands-on prototyper, Chris uses and maintains a custom fork of the GOV.UK Prototype Kit to rapidly iterate code prototypes, run user research and reduce setup friction for teams. He runs sketching workshops, shapes journeys, and trains multidisciplinary teams—via one-to-one coaching, group sessions and YouTube guides—to embed prototyping skills and pragmatic design thinking. As director of Excogitate Ltd, he balances contracting agility with systematic pattern- and component-driven work, helping organisations move from digital products to durable services. Based in Glasgow, he brings a practical, developer-friendly approach that quietly accelerates delivery across large government programmes.
