About

Theo Bonham Carter.
Creative Director & Founder.

I’m a multi-disciplinary, full-service creative with experience right across the software stack. I’ve defined strategies, shaped projects, crafted interfaces, shipped code, written copy, and managed teams. Based in London.

I fill my free time with animals, places, and people.

Work.

Right now I work at Celonis, building Knowledge and Ai tools to help organisations operate more sustainably and efficiently 🚀

Before that I conceived and built Dropdeck, a design tool which uses AI to magically transform plain text into beautifully designed slides, social media, posters, ebooks, and more. The product was acquired by SamCart and is now known as Typeset ✨

I managed a design team at Lucidworks, where we built tools for working with search, data and Ai. My vision of Assistive Enterprise Search put the company into Gartner’s “Leaders” quadrant for the first time 🥰

With best practice UX baked in, Twigkit’s UI components let people rapidly build beautiful, data-driven search applications. A startup of 4 engineers when I joined, I pioneered UX and design across the business, until acquisition 🤝

At Northplains I designed global marketing systems for thousands of Shell, Nokia, and Diageo employees. A promotional campaign I put together for the business went viral, reaching 300K people in 6 weeks 🥳

I’m a thinker and doer who has worked alongside early-stage startups, Fortune 500s and Decacorns to address some of the most challenging problems facing us today; across Medtech, Entertainment, Fintech, Technology, Travel, FMCG, Government, and others.

I don’t have a fancy diagram to explain my design process. But it’s a mixture of curiosity, conversation, collaboration, and care.
