# Patrick Gill > Staff UX Designer at Magic Leap Location: Kalispell, Montana, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/patrickgill As a UX designer, I believe in the power of design thinking and collective engagement to drive innovation. It is my mission to connect with people and build trust to understand motivations and pains more deeply. User-centered research, active listening and lean design practices challenge me to create intuitive solutions that deliver value to the end-user. I thrive in a collaborative environment and seek first to understand, then to be understood. I wear many hats and value accountability. I am committed to continuous learning and believe that sharing is critical to self growth. With a background in architecture, fine arts and animation, I have a deep appreciation for the human condition, the fundamentals of design and detail-obsessed craftsmanship. I find inspiration exploring the powerful combination of art, technology and science to create meaningful communication. ## Work Experience ### Staff UX Designer @ Magic Leap Jan 2023 – Present | Montana, United States Leading design for Magic Leap's developer ecosystem. ### Senior Product Designer @ Regrow Ag Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 Led design for a cross-functional product team that was responsible for delivering Regrow's Sustainability Insights SaaS product. ### Senior UX Designer @ Splunk Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 Led design for Splunk's data visualization and dashboard frameworks as part of the Design Systems team. ### Senior Product Designer @ Submittable Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Missoula, Montana Area • Led design and and research efforts to scale Submittable’s grants management platform for enterprise customers. • Partnered with senior leadership and engineering to understand technical complexity and define an achievable product development roadmap. • Conducted and translated user research activities into actionable product initiatives. • Leveraged product usage data to identify opportunities and validate assumptions. • Defined and extended Submittable's WCAG AA accessible design system and React component library. • Mentored junior designers to develop human-centered design skills and embrace a design thinking mentality. ### Senior UX Designer @ Igneous Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Seatte, WA • Led design processes from concept, through design iteration, to shipped product for enterprise software solutions. • Conducted research through customer interviews and journey mapping workshops to collect qualitative and quantitative data to inform product design. • Developed personas informed by research to facilitate decision making and keep stakeholders grounded. • Defined user stories and flow diagrams to bring clarity to complex problems and inspire information architecture. • Produced sketches, wireframes, high fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes to communicate interaction and experience design goals to product, engineering and executive audiences. • Conducted usability tests with paper and interactive prototypes to ensure accessibility and understanding of language, interaction patterns and experience flows. • Worked cross-functionally as a champion for end-users and evangelized the importance of user-centered design. ### UX Designer @ Igneous Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 | Seattle, WA ### Lead Web Developer @ Marchex Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 | Seattle, WA I worked as a team lead in a group of two web developers and two designers providing web and creative services to support Marchex's national business clients. • Coordinated with business stakeholders to prioritize project backlog and set expectations for deliverables. • Designed, developed and maintained responsive, mobile-first online experiences for national business clients. • Defined and measured success using Google Analytics and Adobe’s Omniture SiteCatalyst. • Initiated and grew A/B testing and optimization strategies resulting in up to 15% improvement in conversion rates for national business clients. • Worked cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to provide user research, wireframes and prototypes for internal and external reporting products. ### Web Developer @ Marchex Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 ### UX/Visual Designer and Frontend Developer @ Powabunga Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 | Greater Seattle Area At Powabunga, an early-stage web startup, I directed and personally executed every aspect of the design process: • Created preliminary wireframes and user flows • Developed brand strategies and ideation • Illustrated, animated and produced promotional and educational videos • Identified or invented visual and technical solutions for user centered design problems • Constructed live HTML/CSS prototypes • Designed simple, engaging and elegant solutions for mobile and desktop that focused on the end-user journey ### Visual Designer and Frontend Developer @ Parallels Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | Greater Seattle Area As part of Parallels' Web and Creative Operations team, I worked with business stakeholders, designers and project managers located in Seattle, Germany, Russia and Japan to migrate Parallels' web content from an aging proprietary solution to the open-source TYPO3 CMS. • Designed and deployed strategic marketing landing pages • Designed print materials to support new products, launches and events • Built visual identities and branding for emerging products • Performed front-end web development for www.parallels.com and its international iterations ### Art Director @ NewWest.Net Jan 2008 – Jan 2011 | Missoula, Montana Area Responsible for all creative projects from concept to completion.
