Let’s Build What Matters

How can I help?

I work with ambitious teams across sectors like agriculture, finance, and health to shape digital products and services that not only function — they resonate. From early research and co-creation to product roadmaps, prototyping, and adoption strategies, I bring both structure and soul to the work. Along the way, I surface hidden opportunities, simplify complexity, and help teams deliver what truly lands. I also teach and mentor in design, systems thinking, and emerging tech like AI — because sharing signal sharpens the field.

About me

Across two decades and dozens of domains, one thread has held: coherence. I build from research, but I listen beyond data. I’ve led national transformations, helped secure millions in funding, and co-designed tools that serve real human needs - not just market trends. My background spans UX, product and service design, regenerative systems, and AI strategy. What drives me isn’t flash - it’s fit. I care about what holds under pressure, what restores clarity, and what helps teams move with more grace, less guesswork.

David Berigny

"David is an extremely talented service designer who really understands how to establish the core needs of the users and is able to then satisfy those requirements with elegant, simple, and intuitive solutions. He is a remarkably confident public speaker who finds it easy to convey the problem space and its challenges with a wider audience. I greatly enjoyed my time working with him, it's rare to find someone so knowledgeable, so empathetic to the user, and who is also eminently likeable as a person. I hope I get to work alongside him again one day." — James Cutts (Principal Designer, Bolt.com)

"Working with David has been a transformative experience in my career journey. His mentorship has not only enhanced my storytelling abilities and refined my UX portfolio but also instilled a profound confidence in my own capabilities. David’s approach fosters human creativity, equipping individuals to navigate and lead in the ever-evolving digital landscape. By guiding me to view career challenges through the lens of UX problem-solving, David has empowered me to embrace change and recognise the value of my experiences. He has prepared me to make a tangible impact in my career." — Nina Cogan (Product Manager, MinterEllison)

"David is a shining example of what happens when you get someone who is creative, passionate, intelligent and resourceful, and then combine it with an easy going, relaxed, non-ego driven and ethical designer. As the design stream lead on AMP's award winning collaboration platform, I was lucky enough to work very closely with Dave. He is responsible for the amazing visual design, responsive design and building the key user interactions. Not an easy feat on a platform plagued with usability issues out-of-the-box. I found Dave always keen to discuss ways to adapt the design based on usability testing results, and his non ego driven attitude made it incredibly easy to iterate the design to a point that it was something we are all exceptionally proud of. Dave also came up with the winning idea to create an internal gift economy in AMP, the result of which is a collaborative art piece permanently hung in AMP's foyer. I cannot recommend Dave highly enough, it's a lucky team that gets the joy of working with him." — Octavia Maddox (Chief Product Officer, Kmart & Target)
