Miles was a real asset to our customer facing teams at Eleksen. He has an excellent ability to understand customer requirements and turn that into products that excite the market and drive sales. Miles design and customer skills made him a unique asset in a business where sales and custom product design are closely linked. On top of being a valuable professional he's an easy guy to work with and a strong team player and team leader.

Senior Manager, Front End Innovation at Coloplast

Miles joined Native as Project Manager, but quickly showed his qualities much beyond this role alone. Yes, he brought a high level of professionalism to tasks such as project and resource planning, proposal creation and budgeting. But first and foremost he is a great people person, making him a joy to work with for both clients and colleagues.
He is a professional juggler, always delivering according to client expectations without losing sight of relevance and reality. He brings, and keeps, everyone involved on board whilst newly surfaced challenges get resolved through his leadership.
I wish everyone the pleasure of working with such a professional, effective and human design manager!

Miles defies classification! He's supremely creative, yet process-focused; driven, and an ideal team member. Absolutely committed to product-design, but also curious enough to learn about all facets of our industry. He is vital to Wound Solutions as a small company, yet would fit in just as well at a large organization.

I learned a great deal from Miles about product design and development from his experience. He can always be counted upon to share his knowledge with patience, clarity and purpose.

Were he in the market for a new position, I would recommend Miles without reservation!

Senior Design Strategist at Smart Design

I worked with Miles throughout my time at Native Design - where he successfully led many of the biggest and most complex design programmes. No matter what is thrown at him, he takes it in his stride. Native is a world class design studio, so the conditions are tough and Miles ensures the best results are achieved every time. Miles is a constant pleasure to have around, working with him was a real joy.
