About
Dylan Evans
Fractional Chief Design Officer · Founder, Flowdonia
Over 25 years connecting companies with customers through brand, product, services, and innovation. A digital leader adept at making international projects excel, with experience across financial services, utilities, consumer, health-tech, and defence. Gained in start-up and mature corporate environments.
Most fractional CDOs focus inward - fixing the design org, hiring the right people, establishing process. That's valuable, but it's half the picture. The other half is outward: helping design-led businesses understand who their customers really are, how buying decisions actually get made, and how to connect design work to commercial outcomes. That's the combination I bring.
UK citizen based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Working across Europe and internationally.
