Hi! Happy to see you here…
Well, I don't mean here as in this photo, this is Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. I mean here as in my about me page!
I'm Ryan, a product designer who has been building and shipping B2B/SaaS products at Microsoft.. you know? The creators of Clippy?
I've honed my experience around crafting designs in the depths of the enterprise Saas, B2B, & Admin-sphere - dashboards, data viz, content management platforms, IT & HR portals - and what can I say, I love it!
Before this, I designed experiences for consumer-facing, sports content (also at Microsoft) and focused on social impact work, supporting a non-profit's record expungement page and internal design system guidance.
There's more!
Design on my mind
I believe great design emerges from cross-collaboration, data-driven decisions, adaptability, and knowing when to push a project forward, or when to keep pushing for research questions.
Balancing user and business needs while recognizing stakeholders not as just team members, but users with goals and motivations, allows me to craft thoughtful solutions that grow products and factor in constraints.
