RICHARD
SULLIVAN
➞ Experience Product Design
I’m a designer, maker, and strategic thinker who sits at the intersection of design, experience, and technology. A proven design leader, I design with purpose and feeling, helping companies innovate, transform, and grow their ventures and products.
A creative thinker at heart, I explore the space in which technology and creativity can open up new possibilities for human potential. In this space, often, the digital and physical come together. I am interested in the luxury, sport, sustainability, and entertainment areas and exploring the space where design thinking, technology, and creativity can present new possibilities and shape the future.
I have expertise in multiple design and creative technology areas—leading projects of all sizes, from multi-channel platform design and apps to digital installations and web3. I focus on areas where creativity and tech intersect across product, interaction, and experience design.

I’ve built, led, mentored, and nurtured global, diverse, multi-disciplinary teams across design, motion, and creative technology to create human-centric digital experiences, products, systems, and narratives. I have had the fortune to work in-house at global companies like FARFETCH, in agencies like Zone, and owned and run a consultancy, FiveTenEighty, where I worked with large brands such as Microsoft and Sky and helped start-ups like sproutl get up and growing. Through those experiences, I've worked with many talented people and great brands.
