George Wood
Product Designer at Stripe
Nottingham, UK
I'm a Product Designer at Stripe working in Extensibility. Helping to shape how developers and users extend our platform with apps and extensions.
I previously spent over 15 years working in agencies, mainly specialising in designing ecommerce platforms and the tools that empower brands to build and curate campaigns their own way.
Across all of that, what's stayed consistent is a focus on the people actually using the thing - and a habit of noticing the small stuff that's easy to overlook but ends up mattering.
George is one of the finest digital designers I’ve ever worked with. He is not only a first class creative and product designer but has led our design function at SOON_ for many years. He has a warm, supportive and engaging management style, has led communications with challenging clients and always guides the project to the best outcomes. George brings his considered and structured process to all his work, whether it’s small creative pieces or presenting critical projects to industry titans like world renowned designer Tom Dixon in person. George is an engaging Design leader with a strong production pedigree to whom I give my strongest recommendation.

Collaborating with George is always a rewarding experience as an engineer. His strong coding knowledge makes teamwork seamless, as he’s able to speak the same language when it comes to implementation — often even providing working prototypes. Combined with his top-tier design sensibility, it always makes for an extremely high-quality end-product.
