I’m Callum Ware, a UX and Product Designer based in Surrey, UK, with nearly two years embedded at Barclays Corporate Bank, designing and improving digital journeys across complex financial platforms. I own end-to-end design from discovery and research through to high-fidelity UI, developer handoff, and iterative delivery within cross-functional, agile product teams. I’m a strong advocate for accessibility and inclusive design, with hands-on experience applying WCAG standards in regulated, stakeholder-heavy environments. I bridge user needs, business goals, and technical constraints to deliver meaningful, measurable UX improvements, and I enjoy translating tricky briefs into clear, actionable design solutions, mentoring teammates, and contributing to design systems.
