 👋 Hello there, I’m Ian

I’m an Experience Designer and manager with a UI/design background consisting of 16 years of professional experience. For the last 4 years I have been leading teams or mentoring designers. My career has been focused primarily on interactive digital landscapes for the last 8 to 10 years. I love making small ideas come to life and grow into big fruitful experiences. I’ve worked independently, for start-ups, leading teams at small agencies to large ones including fortune 500 companies. 

 

⭐ My north star is to elevate user satisfaction by crafting intuitive and empathetic experiences that seamlessly meld aesthetics with functionality.

 

 🏁 Challenge Me

I challenge myself to unlock the full potential of an experience by crafting seamless interactions that resonate with people. By fusing user-centric research, innovative design thinking, and meticulous attention to detail, I transform complex ideas into intuitive, delightful journeys. By collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I ensure that every design choice aligns with and exceeds both user expectations and business objectives. Research shows that, on average, every $1 invested in UX brings $100 in return.* I’m willing to put my money where my mouse is.

🔍 I’m in search of
I am seeking to lead and be part of a team that is creating new ideas with breakthrough tech. I hope to find a place with upward mobility where I can help manage designers and maybe even captain the company’s kickball team.

 

🙋 About Me:

With 20 years of Brooklyn livin’ under his belt, I’ve been known to ride my bike or skateboard to work. When I’m not surfing or snowboarding, I’m marking art and PSA’s. My wife and I spend most of our time at our home in the outer-outer borough of Long Island teaching our toddlers why they can’t squish our dachshund, Mango too hard.
