Bio
Sam Hampton

I am a freelance design & user experience consultant based in South West London. I help brands create better experiences for their customers and employees.

Since 1997 I have worked with a number of leading and award winning design, marketing and advertising agencies.

At the moment I'm working on mobile application guidelines for one of the world's leading telecommunications operators.

In 2011 I designed Coca Cola Enterprises' Compass intranet portal and the mobile version of Sky's intranet.

In 2010 I worked on the Orange App Shop interface design for Java and BlackBerry platforms and delivered RPMs rebrand across all their digital and social channels.

In 2009 I designed an online lead generation campaign for Propertyfinder.com that out performed their main .com by four to one.

In 2006 I was one of four people who helped create Vodafone's benchmark modular eLearning programme.

The principles that shape my work:

brand = user experience

The most successful brands champion the user's experience above everything else.

Your brand is your reputation, that's why it's so important. Everything about how you do business constantly reinforces or creates an impression. The smallest detail can have a huge effect on the overall experience.

 
big picture understanding

Design is a process that extends beyond the aesthetic and encompasses business strategy, internal process, messaging and deployment.

Marketing communications and digital interfaces are the critical point at which a business and its audience meet. The most successful brands balance business objectives, user needs and technical constraints. Only by understanding the big picture can the true nature and extent of an opportunity be identified and exploited.

 
Consumers buy benefits

The most attractive offers sell themselves.

Aligning the business offering to the audience's desires, and communicating it with resonant messaging, intuitive functionality and appropriate visual stimulus, makes engagement and action a natural consequence of the user's experience.
