James Gilchrist has spent his career putting the user front and centre, first, last and always.

As Design Manager at Dyson in the New Product Innovation team, James works from blank sheets of paper to turn ideas into best-selling products that solve problems others ignore.

Alongside accidentally becoming a world expert in curling hair with air, he has spent years studying, implementing and evolving how to build a culture that promotes innovation, and gives it the space it needs to breathe.

When not trying to invent products or processes, you can find James inventing new drills as head coach of the Bristol University American Football team and making copious amounts of pasteis de natas.
