“I had the privilege to work closely with, and manage, Alister during our time on the design system team at Unit4. What impressed me the most was his attitude towards personal development and his ability to adapt and grow.
He picked up quite complex concepts with ease, in domains he wasn’t familiar with. Any that he found challenging he took the time to seek out peers who could support him or material that would reinforce his learning.
Alister is a very proactive member of the team, always seeking to bring new ideas to the table, challenging where appropriate and supporting less experienced members of the team.
As a direct report he was a superb person to manage and I definitely felt myself grow hugely as a people manager during our time together.”
Dan Cork, Design Systems Manager Unit4
“Working with Alister during his time at Unit4 has been an absolute pleasure.
Alister's work to lead the design effort across the new global Design System within the organisation has consistently been of the highest standard.
His collaborative style and drive to discover, innovate and implement best-in-class solutions to our business' and users' requirements has helped not only create useful, usable, scalable and elegant experiences — but has also created team dynamics that have helped designers to thrive (and stakeholders to understand!).
Throughout his tenure at Unit4, Alister supported numerous teams with questions, queries and everything in between. And I never had anything but glowingly positive feedback from both my own and various teams on his contribution.
I would happily recommend Alister for any senior design role.”
Robyn Eastlake, Director of Content and Strategy, Unit4
