Richard Marseglia - Curriculum Vitae

Feb 2024 - Present

Hybrid, UK

• Working directly inside the team behind the UK's leading career show, applying product design and systems thinking to its cross-platform operations and event infrastructure.
• Auditing legacy touchpoints and connecting business goals with what actually ships, across both the digital and physical parts of the event.
• Built scalable UI assets, design libraries and component frameworks to bring consistency and cut duplicated effort across multi-channel campaign platforms.

Nov 2021 - May 2026

Peterborough, UK

• Worked directly inside product and engineering teams for enterprise SaaS platforms in logistics and supply chain, working from the same backlog, not a separate design track.
• Sat with end users and operational teams to map real workflows, then translated findings into a unified design system that removed duplicated effort across the org.
• Used AI-assisted tooling (ChatGPT, Figma AI) to compress the distance between idea and validated prototype, cutting design iteration time and getting concepts in front of engineering earlier.
• Worked hands-on with engineers during build, reducing handover ambiguity and rework by validating decisions in-flow rather than after spec.
• Directed a small design team while remaining hands-on, splitting time between setting direction and doing the embedded, day-to-day problem-solving myself.

Sept 2019 - Nov 2021

Cambridge, UK

• Worked across four agile teams simultaneously, sitting inside live manufacturing and logistics systems rather than a standalone design function.
• Led end-to-end redesign of Warehouse Management Systems, doing the user research, workflow analysis, prototyping and testing myself, on the floor, with the people actually using the tools.
• Ran as Scrum Master alongside design work, so delivery alignment and design decisions happened in the same conversation, not in handoff.
• Operated across interconnected operational systems, simplifying workflows that spanned multiple teams and tools rather than isolated screens.
• Worked directly with stakeholders to define visual direction and keep cross-team delivery aligned, acting as the connective layer between product, engineering and the business.

Nov 2018 - Sep 2019

London, UK

• Embedded within a fast-moving fintech team, designing customer-facing banking products across mobile and web.
• Built high-fidelity, testable prototypes early, so ideas were validated with real customer journeys before build, not after.
• Applied Material Design principles to keep interfaces accessible and consistent across platforms.
• Simplified complex financial workflows to reduce friction and support customer self-service, working the problem from the user's side first.

Jun 2004 - Nov 2018

London, UK

• Worked hands-on as a front-end developer inside large-scale travel and retail systems, building interfaces in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React while also shaping UX decisions from the inside.
• This dual technical and design grounding is where the 'embedded, ships code and design' instinct comes from, still the core of how I work now.
• Partnered closely with design, product and engineering to keep delivery user-centred rather than spec-driven.
• Supported eCommerce and digital transformation work across both B2C and B2B platforms.
• Ran agile delivery as Scrum Master, improving cross-functional communication and visibility across large teams.
