Summary
Laurence Berry is a service designer and director with a decade of experience blending service design, interaction design, web development and user research to deliver research-led, measurable outcomes for public and international organisations. He has led and advised cross-government digital transformation work—shaping service design standards, KPIs and reusable patterns—and represented UK government expertise overseas. Currently running Komo International and working with Public Digital and the Iswe Foundation, he focuses on pragmatic design for participatory governance and large-scale government services. Laurence’s background spans frontline interaction design at GDS to teaching UX/UI and building tools for civic participation, and he brings a rare mix of hands-on delivery, policy-level advising and education. An unexpected strength is his language study in Japanese, reflecting a curiosity for cross-cultural approaches to design and collaboration.
