Profile: https://flows.cv/stevetyree

I design digital experiences that connect business goals with real user needs — and lead teams that make those experiences real at scale.

As a Product Design Lead at T-Mobile, I lead UX for the company’s prepaid brands (Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile Prepaid, Assurance Wireless, and Connect by T-Mobile). My team delivers thoughtful, scalable design across native mobile apps and responsive web platforms, focusing on e-commerce and self-service tools.

With over a decade of experience in UX design, I bring a strong background in:
• Product design & multi-channel UX
• Design systems & team operations
• UX strategy & research collaboration
• End-to-end digital transformation

I’m passionate about simplifying complexity and using design to drive measurable outcomes. I’ve worked closely with product managers, researchers, engineers, and marketers to bring ideas to life.

Currently pursuing my MBA, I’m expanding my ability to link design decisions to business strategy, analytics, and long-term product vision.

Let’s connect — I’m always open to sharing ideas, exploring collaboration, or just talking shop!
