Over the last 21 years, I’ve used Human Experience Design to help companies like Philips, ING, Land Life Company, and WaitWhat turn innovation strategy into award-winning products & services.
Let’s write the love story between your products and the people they empower!

Specialties
As a full-circle UX lead, I can support you at any stage of product development. And here are the three things I do best:
UX Strategy
Whether Bach or Beyoncé, a choir sings with one voice. And each person on a product team should be able to contribute their own unique voice towards a shared strategy & vision; unified, not uniform.
Behavioral Design
Humans are creatures of habit; we stick with the things we love most. When people fall in love with your product or service, we can inspire healthy behavior change in them.
Digital Prototyping
Show always beats tell. And we learn best when we give people artifacts to touch & interact with. From low-fi to high-fi, paper to pixels, prototypes bring your concept to life for customers & stakeholders.
“Brian can be the driver on any UX adventure you choose, but he can also be a very helpful navigator.”
