David Travis

I'm a User Experience Strategist at Userfocus, a consultancy specialising in user experience.

At 18, I appeared as an extra in the film “Quadrophenia" alongside Sting and Ray Winstone. Despite a critically-acclaimed performance lasting 5 seconds, follow-up offers from Hollywood failed to arrive so I turned to psychology where I gained a BSc and a PhD. I'm now an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Chartered Psychologist. Since 1989 I have worked in the fields of human factors, usability and user experience and I have published three books in the field.

I'm no longer in contact with Sting or Ray Winstone, whose career trajectories have been somewhat different.

I've provided UX support to top brands like HP, Microsoft, Whirlpool, Orange, Skype, eBay and Yahoo! and I have also consulted with public sector organisations like The Greater London Authority, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, UK Government and the World Health Organization.
