Hello. I'm Bryan.
What I Do
For nearly 30 years (yes, I was designing when dial-up was still a thing), I’ve been on a mission to make digital experiences less frustrating and more delightful. My philosophy is simple: animations and aesthetics are great, but if users can’t find the “Submit” button, we have bigger problems. I work closely with stakeholders to align user needs with business goals—because a product that looks great but doesn’t work well is just a really expensive piece of digital art.
How I Work
I bring a healthy mix of creativity, strategy, and caffeine to every project, bridging the gap between what users want and what businesses need. Whether I’m deep in Figma, mapping out seamless workflows, or running usability tests to make sure users don’t rage-click, I focus on crafting intuitive, data-driven solutions. From stakeholder workshops to design sprints, I ensure every project is rooted in collaboration, iteration, and a touch of UX magic.
Who I Am
I’m a proud father to three grown sons and the very lucky husband of an amazing, supportive wife. A Florida native, I find inspiration in our beaches—but let’s be real, my heart belongs to the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee. There’s something about winding trails and crisp mountain air that fuels my creativity (and gives me a great excuse to unplug).
Let’s team up to create user-friendly, frustration-free digital experiences—because life’s too short for bad UX.
Case Studies & Design Examples
User experience goes far beyond creating visually appealing designs—it’s about solving real problems and delivering meaningful solutions. Below, you’ll find a collection of case studies showcasing my approach to UX, from user research and problem-solving to the final product. Alongside these, I’ve included examples of traditional visual design work from my professional journey, highlighting both creativity and functionality.
My Introduction to "Design Thinking"
My first encounter with "Design Thinking" was through the InVision documentary The Loop, which highlighted IBM's remarkable transformation from a traditional corporate aesthetic to a more innovative, user-centered approach to product design.
In IBM's words:
"It enables us to build on our successes and learn from our failures along the way. When taken to heart, the Loop keeps us moving forward despite the uncertainty the future may hold."
At its core, the Loop process is about a continuous commitment to solving the real challenges users face with a product. While not entirely new—echoing principles of agile methodology—the way The Loop presented this mindset deeply resonated with me. It felt natural, aligning seamlessly with how my mind approaches problems in both design and everyday situations.
By adopting this methodology, I aim to create products that are not only intuitive and robust but also adept at overcoming user challenges. It encapsulates what it truly means to be a "User Experience Designer."
For a great summary, I recommend visiting their official page.
