Hi, I’m Grant

I’m a strategy oriented product designer with 20 years of experience. I forge partnerships with business and development teams to deeply understand organizational and customer objectives. I also facilitate workshop sessions to uncover complex challenges and distill them into flow diagrams, user journeys, and other key artifacts that drive decision making. After that, I refine discovery work output into user stories with clear and concise wireframes and acceptance criteria.

My Values

Honesty & Humility

Aim to solve real and meaningful problems
Challenge your own assumptions
Support the best idea, even if you didn’t come up with it
Empathize with your customers pain points

Ingenuity

Break down or reframe the problem you’re trying to solve
Start at the end and work backwards
Borrow concepts from an unrelated industry
Every problem is an opportunity in disguise

Flexibility

Seek out new information, even if it disagrees with you
Try anything once
Find opportunities to incorporate new methods
Pause and re-evaluate the situation

About Me

My wife Sarah and I live in beautiful Hudson, Wisconsin. In my spare time I like to read science fiction, ride my motorcycle, play strategy board games, or tinker with creative projects. I’m currently working with 3D printing and Raspberry Pi computers. Whenever I need of a good dose of inspiration I like to travel.
