Who I am
Sandra Dartnell
I believe that organisations - big and small - can and should benefit from Creative strategy that is value-to-customer focused.
I love ideas, behaviour and design and have my own approach to creative problem solving.
Since 2013 I have been Helping commercial, not-for-profit and local authority clients solve business and communication challenges by providing customer-focused services. Before that I worked in integrated design and brand management for over 12 years.
I am embedded in the creatives industries and passionate about creative communities. I am Partnership Manager North West for sector support organisation Creative & Cultural Skills, a trustee at Make Liverpool and a volunteer at Hoylake Community Cinema. Whatever I am doing, I am Always ThinkingCX.
“ThinkingCX is motivated by these questions: Who are your customers? What do those people need right now? And next? What impact does that have on your business model, value proposition and business tactics?”

_I put people first. I believe in putting needs and benefits at the center of decision-making.
What clients have to say
“We brought ThinkingCX in to help advise on a complicated web application project. The platform was to be used across two quite different sets of users and we needed to establish some commonality so that we could standardise the development and work from a single code base. On top of that, we needed to establish a more detailed persona around the user groups to help with the visual identity and language of the platform. Sandra Dartnell’s work was vital in understanding these target audiences, their requirements, their expectations and how we could build a single platform that would service both sides of the business. Sandra’s approach is intelligent, organised, insightful and has great attention to detail. She’s fun to work with and is a benefit to any project.”
