Nice of you to stop by.

I am Tony, UX/UI Design leader located in Austin, Texas. Originally from San Diego, my design career started in Architecture. After 6 successful years designing commercial pools and waterparks, I took a leap of faith by joining a start-up in Austin. I dabbled in web design and front end engineering for a bit, but found myself wanting to do more than push pixels and learn the next programming language. The architect in me wanted to dive deeper and solve problems, to create experiences, and analyze.

For the past 10 years I have worked in various industries in tech including:

  • media/entertainment

  • e-commerce

  • fintech

  • insurtech

  • medtech

To inform my design I rely on a process. The process is not unique, but one that I have found generates the best results. Of course this is not a linear process each time, rather a lot of going back and forth, depending on the project. Shipping is not the end of my work either, I continue to test and iterate, if possible, to improve the product.

I am a collaborator and a facilitator who loves to learn and teach when I can. I have found that solutions come from unexpected sources, you just have to keep your eyes and mind open.

When I am not trying to solve problems through delightful designs, I am searching for the best tacos in town or out on Lake Travis with my family trying to relive my surfing days of San Diego.

Do you have an idea that needs some noodling? Lets talk
