My approach to design.

  • Take creative risks. (Test yourself with unfamiliar projects)

  • Make it feel like a win for them. (Key stakeholders)

  • Don’t give away the farm. (Things must be earned)

  • Never assume you have complete buy-in. (Make sure of it)

  • Think in opposites. (If you’ve seen it before, break the box)

  • Do what feels right. (There are no rules)

  • Speak the truth. (Sooner than later)

  • Do you. (It’s your secret sauce)

  • His positive attitude, collaborative spirit, and willingness to listen to feedback made him an invaluable partner throughout the development process. Bryan's ability to effectively communicate his ideas and collaborate with cross-functional teams ensured that everyone was aligned and working towards a common goal.

    David Anfield | Senior Product Manager

  • He was always able to target the key tangible and emotional value of the products we worked on, because he could listen to users and hear what they said, how they said it, and tease out the core motivations from some of the unsaid things that many designers can't uncover.

    Tom Kuplic | Product Manager

  • Bryan is one of the most creative and innovative UX designers I have ever worked with. He is incredibly quick at solving problems, and he is focused on maintaining a fluid user experience, a value that cannot be overlooked.

    Jakub Tordoff | Software Developer

  • I worked with Bryan as a SME during our time together at American Family. We were able to overcome unique challenge gateways and produce great work. I am a better, more innovative, business owner as a result of working alongside Bryan.

    Ben Grams | Business SME

  • "He is a natural leader and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Bryan for his leadership, communication, and design expertise. Bryan is straightforward to work with, and he would be a valuable addition to any team."
