Chris Ballantine-Thomas
I’m a designer working in public service design. I care about creating high-quality services that work for everyone, and building collaborative design communities to make this possible.
I’m currently a Lead Designer at the Government Digital Service, where I work across GDS’ platforms. I previously led design on the GOV.UK Design System team.
Several years ago I wrote a “self-help” book called You Have Too Much Shit. It’s been downloaded 80,000 times, and on at least one occasion convinced an American fella to get rid of his car.
I’m based in Liverpool, where I help out a bit with Liverpool Digital People.
