Tom Spencer

Senior Product Designer

Thirteen years designing software, currently at Rakuten Advertising — enterprise tools used by advertisers, publishers, analysts, and account teams, built on large datasets, detailed reporting, and multi-step workflows.

My approach prioritises outcome: fewer support tickets, faster workflows, and happier, more decisive users.

I'm based in Brighton, UK and currently open to new roles — if you think we'd be a match, please get in touch.
