Social impact and non-profit work

Frederic blends business acumen, technical savvy, and design expertise to help non-profit organisations like ours stay creative and find timely, relevant solutions.

Client and project work

Frederic was super professional, very skilled, and fun to work with. From helping with vision, strategy, down to the pixels and our design system, he had a massive positive impact on what we were able to achieve and how we achieved it.

Dr Mark Preston CEO of Prismea

I would highly recommend Frederic for his depth of knowledge and experience in the areas of UI/UX and product design. I had a very successful collaboration with him on a project that included updates to an existing design system and also additional accessibility considerations for WCAG AA+ compliance. His advice and final output was exceptional and was delivered within the time and budget agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Frederic in future, in fact I look forward to doing so.

We had the delight of working with Frederic on DMWF Global. An expert in his field. His relaxed and calm nature on stage making our audience at DMWF Global enthused to learn more. Look forward to working with Frederic again at future DMWF events.

Product, UX, and organisational leadership

To sum it up, one of the very best User Experience professionals that I've had the pleasure to work with. I worked with Frederic for a number of years at Medidata at a time where our product team had struggled to put the right level of focus on UX. Frederic immediately made his mark and through collaboration and a drive to do the right thing, we were able to give UX its seat at the table as a driving force of product analysis and design.

Frederic has an amazing ability to grasp new concepts and industries extremely quickly. He took to clinical research immediately and was someone that I always trusted to speak to the customers as he has this ability to gain buy-in/acceptance through his friendly manner. Over time, he showed his leadership qualities and built a really strong UX team in the UK, all of whom shared his passion. It was at this time I feel like Product & UX were at their strongest as a partnership and really “one team” which had historically not been the case.

I would never hesitate to work with Frederic again in the future and would recommend him without a second thought to anyone that needs a UX expert.

Ricky Lakhani Chief Product Officer · Independent Advisor/Consultant

Frédéric Marc is one of those design professionals who not only understand UI/UX but also has an excellent grip on the limitations/characteristics of a specific business domain. It is remarkable that he can equally well contribute to the details of a UI design all the way to strategic UI/UX conversations and decision making. Frederic is a pleasure to work with, not only at a personal level but also due to his capability to understand complex problems quickly and with very little context. As a leader he can inspire change and rally teams to support a common goal while — importantly — remaining incredibly polite and calm.

Yannis Katsaros Product Director

I worked with Frederic for several years on a number of complex software products. He brought great experience to our team, raised the quality of our UX considerably, and had a significant impact in how UX and UI was approached. Frederic established and led a strong and respected UX team who were highly valued.

Andrew Smith Tech Leader · Startups to Multinationals · Regulated Industries

Fred embodies the principles of excellent user experience: he is clear, communicative, collaborative, creative & commercially-focused. In Paddy Power, he helped drive a sea-change in mentality, taking the preconceptions of innovation and UX and completely redefining & reinventing them.

His genuine enthusiasm, deep knowledge and experience were incredibly infectious. Fred's ability to listen, observe and derive insight before applying his sizeable creativity to producing achievable & impactful solutions make him a great asset in any team or company, regardless of industry or size.

Neil Campbell Head of Mobility

I had the pleasure to work with Frederic at BCSG. There he built a design team which focused on collaboration: working together and taking into account everyone's opinion. He is a natural leader, and his great communication skills allow him to fight for his beliefs while at the same time bringing different teams/people together.

Frederic was my mentor, and as Head of Experience Design, was very supportive and encouraged me to learn new techniques and implement new ideas. From him I learned how to find effective solutions to UX problems and how to use specific design patterns. He continuously encouraged the team to think of further training and career development.
