Will Wright

Currently Senior UX Design Engineer at Parsley Box and Mentor at CodeYourFuture. Previously at Machine Labs, Kindaba, Clazzoo, Flavourly, Nautilus & Apple. Dad.

Will Wright is a Senior UX Design Engineer at Parsley Box where he works to enhance the user experience for customers ordering tasty cupboard-stored ready meals delivered straight to their door. After spending more than 20 years working in design and web agencies as well as several early-stage startups, Will knows what it takes to create a truly engaging experience — and it’s not about using the design trend of the week. It’s how well you connect with the people using your product and provide them with a compelling and intuitive solution.

Besides Parsley Box Will is also a Mentor at CodeYourFuture — a non-profit organisation supporting refugees with the dream of becoming software developers, and he enjoys playing tennis, brazilian jiu-jitsu, photography, and spending time with his family.

He currently lives in Edinburgh with his and two sons.


Recommendations

“Aside from his technical skills, and problem-solving abilities which I could go on about, Will is one of the most thoughtful, open, respectful, balanced and deliberate people I know. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for the past two years and have experienced first-hand his ability. He’s precise with his language, and not afraid to be vulnerable in his approach to a problem. Selfishly, I’m envious of his lack of ego and ability to find pleasure in what he’s doing. I have loved working with him.”
~ Rob Gelb, Founder at Kindaba

“Will is a craftsman, an outstanding team player, and someone who is committed to making positive impact — for his team, for the customers and for the community.”
~ Lizzie Brough, Co-founder at Kindaba
