Tom Lancaster

SQLI London

Experience Design Director, March 2024 to April 2025

At SQLI I led the Experience team in the London studio from March 2024 to April 2025.

During my time there I brand directed SQLI's identity refresh with fabulous SQLI design teams across Europe in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and London. I established a tokenised Design System product and worked with SQLI's innovation team to create React and Angular coded versions of it.

Working with a small team we won client Vivobarefoot and created a digital transformation strategy and content strategy for the sustainable footwear brand. I also worked on the candidate experience for people looking to join The Army in the UK - a huge national employer.
