Gary M Davis

Human-centered problem-solving and design.

Over 20 years crafting intuitive experiences

I have spent the last 20+ years focusing on designing elegant and intuitive user expereinces, mostly for business productivity tools. I use design thinking processes and tools to understand users, reframe problems, design, prototype and test.

I'm a strong systems thinker able to construct cohesive design languages and component libraries for efficient scaling. Finally, I'm passionate about mentoring designers and promoting an inclusive, collaborative culture centered on craft, accountability, and professional growth.

View my work

Innovation

Innovation unlocks new possibilities. I explore ways to leverage tech solutions to eliminate unnecessary work or transform existing processes.

Research

I use interviews, testing, and observation to truly understand people and their problems. Hands-on research guides me in creating intuitive interfaces that just make sense for the end-user to provide a delightful, natural experience.

Simplicity

Simplicity, without innovation to enable it, may make a design look nice but perform poorly. I focus on innovation to enable simplicity.

Design

Good design delights users through intuitive and appealing experiences. I leverage design principles to effectively communicate, convey meaning, and encourage desired behaviors.
