Ben Harvey

Designing across the whole service

I work with researchers, product owners, clinicians and developers to connect the interface with the people, processes and decisions behind it. My background in product design engineering helps me work with technical constraints.

Leadership and delivery

At Surrey and Borders Partnership, I managed five designers as acting lead, setting design direction, reviewing quality and supporting professional development. At NHS England, I mentor three junior designers, facilitate workshops and explain design decisions to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

Explore how I exercise design judgement: challenging a forecasting concept and connecting decisions across a service.

Prototyping and standards

I work in Figma and build coded prototypes in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Nunjucks using GOV.UK and NHS Prototype Kits. My practice applies GDS Service Standard principles and WCAG 2.2.
