Service design and leadership coaching, shaping solutions that deliver value and leaders who inspire meaningful impact.
Say helloApply Design is an independent strategic design consultancy built on creativity, openness, and collaboration. We support leaders and teams to drive meaningful change, and help organisations turn ideas into tangible solutions through thoughtful design and co-creation.
Understanding user needs and spotting strategic areas of opportunity and growth, so business decisions carry less risk and create real value for the people you serve.
Visualising end-to-end experiences, mapping current and future states, and co-designing with teams to turn ideas into tangible solutions. Where it helps, focused one-week sprints take a big challenge from concept to tested prototype at speed and with less risk.
Designing new ways of working and embedding a culture of co-creation and continuous learning, bringing design thinking, doing and being to organisational change so good work becomes great and the practice carries on long after the project ends.
Developing leaders who create cultures of trust and psychological safety, and who lead with empathy, emotional intelligence and a clear sense of vision.
We partner with organisations driven by purpose and possibility, bringing together design thinking, strategic action, and authenticity to help good work become great.

I worked with Aimee at UKHSA on design strategy; she was fantastic. She had a wealth of previous experience to draw on. I found that Aimee's knowledge, her thoughtful advice, and her approach made her an absolute pleasure to work with.
Aimee was incredibly helpful in clarifying my objectives and guiding me toward practical solutions. Her advice was clear, actionable, and made a big difference. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her as a coach.
Aimee thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us here. You made such a huge impact on the Connect DPS team and our delivery of the Prisoner Profile, Homepage and Navigation.
We believe we all have the power to design and make the world simpler, smarter, and kinder. Apply Design is a company of one, created in 2019 by Aimee Tasker, partnering with trusted contractors and specialists when a project calls for it, scaling the team to fit the work.
