- Experience Design Director
- Member since 2020
As Experience Design Director at R/GA London, Joe Hearty leads the design of products and services for some of the world’s largest brands and organisations.
Working across the EMEA region, he has reimagined how a music technology start-up inspires creativity, redefined how Akbank serve Turkey’s un-banked population, and helped Google build a hub to support innovation in machine learning.
Prior to working at R/GA, he was responsible for delivering best-in-class product experiences for Verizon, Vodafone Group and Deutsche Telekom.
With a background in Industrial Design and Music Technology, Joe also taught at London’s Central Saint Martins, helping students break down and address complex frictions in contemporary society such as issues related to sustainability, politics, economics and national security.
Joe’s primary motivation is people – their needs, their eccentricities and the role technology can play in helping them feel more human.
