”Neil supported as a lead advisor to our design team at a crucial time of expanding our brand design capabilities across the global design organization. He collaborated with our senior design leaders on developing a global design conference and co-created a brand experience toolkit that truly inspired and motivated the team, driving brand design to the next level of excellence. What stood out most was Neil's ability to effortlessly transition between the roles of educator, mentor, and co-creator—always attentive to the team's needs. I highly recommend Neil to any organization"

As a small company, we feel that the positive outcomes from the coaching will remain with us and guide us for many years to come. We now have a strategic roadmap to apply to all our future new product development and design programs. It has invigorated the company to implement user-centred design as the default. We cannot thank Neil Gridley enough, and would particularly recommend the face-to-face opportunity afforded to us'
