I’m a Product Engineer with 20 years of experience across frontend and backend development, product thinking, and a background in interaction design from CIID & The Royal College of Art. I build AI-powered products, tools, and digital services – identifying problems, evaluating options, making fast decisions, and iterating with real user data. My current focus is AI products with genuine human impact: from conversational AI for care-experienced young people, to AI business risk platforms, to voice-based AI games for children.

I’ve prototyped new digital products and services, co-founded a design-futures consultancy, prototyped a 24-hour immersive experience, made a synthesiser out of cheese, and taught people to prototype anything.

I’ve worked with some amazing designers and teams over the years including: Bompas & Parr, DDB Health, DesignStudio, dn&co, ELSE, Fabrica, Fjord, Imagination, TBWA/Media Arts Lab, Moving Brands, The Division.

I’ve worked across industries building experiences for clients including: Alfa Romeo, Alzheimer’s Research Trust, Apple, Benetton, Bluebird, Clairol, Coca-Cola, Escada, Fiat, Head & Shoulders, Hermès, Honda, Hewlett Packard, KPMG, Lacoste, LG Electronics, Maserati, Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle, Paramount, Philips Healthcare, Range Rover, SwissLife, The World Economic Forum, Universal, Vauxhall, Warner Bros, Wikimedia Foundation.

I’m currently looking for a full-time AI Product Engineering role. If you’re building with AI and need someone who can move fast from idea to working product, I’d love to hear from you. Email hello@lukesturgeon.co.uk to start a conversation.
