About Me

Chris Coulson

I’m a product designer specializing in the world of gaming, having worked in the industry for more that 13 years.

After graduating from university with a bachelors degree in Media Technology, I found myself working for a couple of small agencies before accidentally stumbling into the industry that would become my bread and butter for a considerable number of years.

 

I’ve been a designer since the early days, when it was all about Photoshop, Flash and even Director. My path has followed the popular transition from web and graphic design, to UI, UX and now product design. Having worked closely with UX during my previous employment as design manager at Amaya, I changed direction slightly when I joined Betsson and began to head down the UX career path. Over the years I’ve gained experience collaborating and taking part in user research and testing for our products, and more commonly designing and prototyping sites and features for our core brands using tools like Sketch and Figma. All the fun stuff!

 

While the gaming industry makes up most of my professional background, I have some related interests outside of the office, such as in crypto, following into general stocks and trading. Certainly it would interest me to head further down this path should an opportunity arise.

 

Aside from this my other passions are music, mountain biking and kitesurfing, which keeps me plenty busy.
