Ed joined IE as a Web Applications Developer in 2008 after graduating from the University of Birmingham.

He has a BSc in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, and an MSc in Intelligent Systems Engineering. At IE, he grew into a senior development role, before taking a step away from writing code and towards user experience and technical consultancy.

Ed has spent the past 15 years immersed in the challenges faced by the charity, health and education sectors – from their aspirational goals and strategies, to the best technology choices, and right down to the individual lines of code required to deliver an experience that will make a measurable impact on achieving objectives. You’ll generally find Ed delivering discovery and UX workshops, facilitating user testing, crafting innovative new information architectures, and advising clients on how best to leverage and connect different digital tools in a compelling user experience.

For eight years, Ed was IE’s Digital Services Director and helped to transform our digital offering, before stepping down in 2023 because of family commitments. Today, Ed serves as a Senior Digital Consultant at IE.

Outside of work, Ed’s dedicated to spending time with his young family, and enjoys pursuing his interests in home automation, DIY, astronomy, photography and playing the occasional video game with friends.
