Hello, I’m Josh Payton.

I’m an American digital product designer living & working in London.

Over the last years I’ve been very fortunate to live in some of the greatest cities, work on some of the best products, and collaborate with some of the smartest people in the world.

I’m currently Vice President of User Experience at Huge in Europe where my teams are focused on a systems-oriented product design approach that emphasizes quick ideation, prototyping, testing and validation of the work we do for clients globally.

Previously I've held roles managing global user experience for the home and storefront pages at Amazon.com; leading visual design efforts for the News & Information group at Yahoo!; and heading up interactive design for Slate magazine at Microsoft and Washington Post/Newsweek Interactive.

In 2015 I was named the 47th most influential designer in the UK by The Drum.

In 2017 I was included in the BIMA 100 recognizing the digital industry's brightest stars who are shaping the future of Britain’s digital industry.
