About Simon Shakeshaft

Since 1995 Simon has been researching and consulting in agencies, most recently as Design Director in a leading Scottish web design agency.

Before that Simon worked as market researcher, account planner and information architect, and bagged a rather useful (no really) degree in Social Anthropology from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

At The Lab we bring these disciplines together - with the latest developments in usability techniques - to create a handy little bundle of expertise for our clients.
