Could this be the UX designer you’re looking for?
Hello, I’m Paul.
I have over 20 years of experience working very closely with engineers, product managers, designers, researchers, writers, and stakeholders. I have experience working on B2B service design on diverse, distributed teams in large enterprises (Amazon Web Services, Pearson), as well as creating award-winning apps for consumers at startups.
My forte is knowing how to create and implement solutions that make it easier for people to do what matters to them.
I am a big-picture designer and IC who sees work through from research, exploration, design, and testing—to elegant, detailed, and effective implementation.
Let's talk about how we can work together.
Making Playing Music More Fun
Our team at Sonation packed complex machine learning technology into a dead-simple app for musicians. Usage really took off when we solved a common problem plaguing musicians for over 400 years.
Making College Textbooks More Effective
At Pearson we researched what college students disliked most about digital textbooks, then built simple, intuitive solutions that boosted ratings, increased usage—and lightened backpacks everywhere.
