About

BetterHalf is Craig Elve.

A senior product designer who’s spent 17 years shaping software for some of the world’s biggest brands — now building custom tools for businesses that have been quietly making do.

Seventeen years designing products. One frustration.

I’ve designed products for Clarks, GE Vernova, the United Nations, Vodafone, Arsenal and the British & Irish Lions. Enterprise-grade work, with the teams and budgets to match.

The frustration: smaller businesses have exactly the same problems — clunky workflows, software that almost fits, subscriptions stacked on subscriptions — but none of them could afford a custom build. That maths has changed. A senior designer with AI in the loop can now do what used to take a whole team, which puts bespoke software back within reach.

BetterHalf is where I do that work: design-led, custom software for businesses that deserve tools built around them.

The work behind the work.
