Hi, I’m Austin. I am a UX/Product Designer focused on end-to-end user experiences. I have 7+ year track record designing new B2B and B2C products from the ground up, new features for legacy products, and building robust design systems at scale. I provide a keen attention to detail, a multi-disciplinary skillset, and a wealth of experience across the product development lifecycle.Â
