Hi, I’m Graeme,

and I’m a resourceful, story-driven UX designer who is passionate about user narratives, emerging technologies, and inviting diverse perspectives.

My enthusiasm for talking with and recognizing the value of others comes from my time in the film industry, which, similarly to design, is made up of projects that benefit from a variety of unique viewpoints. As a director on a film set, it was my job to know the strengths of my crew and encourage them, but ultimately it fell on me to get all the shots needed that day, while still maintaining this vision that’ll hopefully entertain someone someday. 

Design is a process that wholly exists for the end-user. It’s all about them. From initial research and interview, to usability testing, it’s about making an enjoyable experience for someone you’ll likely never meet, maybe even make their day better, and I find that so compelling. This is the aspect I revel in the most: the people and their problems we try to mitigate.

Whether it’s sitting down with users in an interview to discuss their needs or frustrations, combing through data to find the throughline that creates a story to empathize with, or supporting teammates in collaborative settings as an affable leader, my strengths in design are focused in these person-to-person moments.

Outside of my work, I’m an avid cook, a voracious reader, a lifelong sneakerhead, and a licensed marriage officiant.
