About

Theo Bonham Carter.
Creative Director & Founder.

Hello. I’m a full-service creative with experience right across the software stack. I’ve defined strategies, shaped projects, designed interfaces, shipped code, written copy, and devised campaigns.

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

Work.

I’m currently working on exciting things at Celonis, helping organisations better use data and intelligence to operate more sustainably and efficiently 🚀

Before that I built design automation tool Dropdeck, which uses AI to magically turn written text into beautifully designed slides. It’s success led to acquisition by SamCart, and subsequent rebranding as Typeset. ✨

A bit further back I led a product design team at Lucidworks, crafting tools for search, data and Ai. My Enterprise Search app put the company into Gartner’s “Leaders” quadrant for the first time ever 🥰

With best practice UX baked in, Twigkit’s UI components let people rapidly build modern, data-driven search apps. A startup of 4 when I joined, I pioneered UX and design across the business, paving the way for our success and acquisition 🤝

At Northplains I led a design team helping brands protect and distribute digital assets. I also devised a handful of successful marketing campaigns, and refreshed our product identity 🍹

At VYRE I designed global systems for thousands of Shell, Nokia, and Diageo employees. A marketing campaign I put together to promote our product went viral, reaching something like 300K people in it’s first 6 weeks 🥳

I’ve had the pleasure of helping early-stage startups, Fortune 500s and Decacorns tackle some of the toughest problems of our age; across Medtech, Fintech, Government, FMCG, eCommerce, and others.

If you’d like to know more, my case studies are available on request.

I don’t have a fancy diagram to explain my process. But it’s a mix of curiosity, conversation, collaboration, and care. I’m a thinker, and a doer.

Oh, stop it.
