Management team

Esther Stringer

Managing Director

I help brands functionally and emotionally connect with people. My empathy and attention to detail helps Clients understand what matters most to their customers.

I love to explore opportunities and validate assumptions using a variety of research and design thinking methods. I am lucky to have a diverse job spanning the business. In essence, my role is understanding what our Clients problems are and their individual context. Then I scope out what needs to be discovered or tested, and how.

With a firm grounding in physics I love analysing and improving services, systems and processes. I am happiest when designing efficient ways to do something, whether it is for a Client or our own business.

François Roshdy

UX Director

I’m constantly amazed at technology, and how the way we use it, can change the way we do things. That’s why, I believe user centred design and continuous improvement are the most sensible approaches to building something new or doing something better.

At Border Crossing UX, I’m responsible for leading user experience projects. Whether we’re defining a user experience strategy or optimising an existing sign-up process, it’s my job to ensure we focus on the people and outcomes that matter.

In short, I’m at my happiest when I get to collaborate with clients on projects that solve challenging business problems.
