Richard Dorrell
Product Design
With two decades of experience across a wide range of industries, I help organisations design and deliver digital products that perform, balancing user insights with commercial impact. I’ve led design teams for global brands, driving measurable improvements in conversion, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. My approach blends hands-on product design with strategic leadership, scaling design systems, improving delivery processes, and aligning teams around ashared product vision.
I am also an active adopter of AI, using tools like Claude Code to accelerate design workflows, building custom AI-powered tooling and utilising MCP integrations to solve real produce and operational challenges.

I currently lead the design team responsible for the worldwide checkout and payments experience at Ticketmaster, providing design direction and mentorship as well as design and testing strategy.
