Hi, I'm Jhon Doe.

Designer + Diver + DJ + Dog Dad

Based in Austin, Texas, I’m a Product Design Leader with over 15 years of experience creating digital products for companies like Adobe, Shopify, Stripe, and Atlassian. My interest in how people interact with technology led me to study Human-Computer Interaction and Cognitive Psychology, including a semester abroad in the Netherlands.

I lead design for complex platforms and customer-facing products, working closely with product and engineering teams to shape strategy, guide roadmaps, and deliver experiences used by millions. I mentor designers, establish scalable design systems, and focus on solutions that are intuitive, user-centered, and grounded in measurable outcomes.

Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring young designers, exploring new cities, photographing street life, experimenting with music production, and spending weekends hiking or catching a live concert.

Kind words from previous clients

Chris is a very detail-oriented designer and is great at communicating design decisions to product and engineering teams. He is extremely knowledgeable about both design and technology. He’s a great product designer and would make a tremendous addition to any UX team.
Preethi R.
Senior Product Designer @ MobileIron
Chris is capable of taking a product from conceptual thinking all the way to deployment. This includes brainstorming, wireframing, mocking up, UI, user testing and making iterations, to deploying and monitoring. He understands and embraces project limitations such as time, tech debt, and scope. Chris is also a great colleague and capable in providing feedback on other design projects. His impact is already missed.
Danny Z.
Principal Product Designer @ Smugmug
Chris is an excellent UX/UI designer that I had the pleasure to work with. He understands what it takes to design an effective user experience as I witnessed during a round of focus group testing where the respondents overwhelmingly had a favorable impression of the FreshFeed mobile app design and user interface. Chris would make a great addition to any organization and I would work again with Chris in a heartbeat!
Ilya S.
Head of Marketing @ Fligoo
Chris is a great UI/UX Designer with attention to detail and always looking to learn more and better his craft. He is always willing to take some time to help other designers with feedback and constructive criticism. All-in-all, a great member to have on your team!
