Design isn't limited to the product. Building great products requires systems to maximize designs potentially by making designers more than the sum of their parts.

What I'm best at

Designing products and systems that are complex, not complicated
🧩
Systems Thinking
Products aren't just a collection of isolated features—they're systems of patterns that work together to drive outcomes for both users and the business. When those patterns are intentionally designed and connected, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

I zoom out to understand and shape those systems in a consistent, scalable way. That means looking beyond the product itself to the processes and collaboration behind it. By designing the process, I elevate outcomes not just for the user, but across the organization.
🎨
Complex Product Design
Complex doesn’t have to be complicated. I design by identifying specific problems and abstracting them into consistent, scalable patterns.
🫱🏻‍🫲🏽
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Great products are a team effort. I bring stakeholders into the design process and keep everyone aligned on both decisions and the rationale behind them.
📘
Documentation
The secret weapon of complex product design. I turn design decisions into clear specs and guidelines that build alignment and keep teams consistent at scale.
⚙️
Design Ops
I make great design the default by identifying opportunities to elevate your design maturity and implementing solutions that maximize designs impact in your organization.

What People Say About Me

When I make them waffles 🧇 they say nice things
Andy Garcia
VP of Design @ CMG Financial

Dylan is a powerhouse. His unrelenting commitment toward educating and improving himself is one of the most impressive I have ever seen. I would jump at the chance to hire Dylan again, and I would stake my name on assuring any organization that their game will be elevated by having him on their team.

Jon Hyzy
Lead UX Designer @ Sagent

Dylan's skills as a visual designer are truly exceptional, and I always turned to him first when I needed extra help with my work. What I appreciated most about Dylan, however, was his ability to build genuine connections with the people he worked with. From colleague to friend, Dylan quickly became someone I trusted and enjoyed working with.

Cindy Golos
Program Manager @ Enovational

Dylan is also the teammate you look forward to connecting with every day. He made good days even better, difficult days a bit lighter, and brought a lot of joy to the work.

David Perras
Product Manager @ Sagent

Dylan's ability to turn requirements into engaging designs was incredible. He was able to work across work streams to define patterns and flows that would set a standard for the future of an evolving design system.

April Ding
UX Designer @ Ernst & Young

For anyone looking for a UX designer with excellent communication skills and who can solve complex problems, Dylan is the person for the job.

Ash Delvillain
Director of UX @ Enovational

Dylan is an unmatched idea generator: he seeks out feedback in the early, ugly, and uncertain stages of a project and pursues new data on which to build a solid foundation for solutions.

Trammy Hoang
Product Manager @ Ernst & Young

Dylan never ceased to amaze me while we were working together. He tackled ambiguity head-on to keep the team on track and played an integral part in making our team more self-organizing.
