I work with companies to help them focus on improving the experience of the design system and end to end experience when using a product or service.
I have been able to help a handful of companies over the last few years by working cross collaboratively on things like user journeys, product roadmaps, design systems, and other deliverables.
I'm currently seeking my next opportunity as a product designer.
I would like to help a great design team ship highly intuitive products not just for the company, but for the community of people they're there to help.
I have a personal website at darianrosebrook.com or you can check out my portfolio highlights below.

- User experience design

I have worked as a consultant and contractor on multiple branding and user experience projects. I have found that both compliment each other, like two halves of a company. Making sure that the people have a good experience is good branding, and having good branding can lead to great experiences.
I write and teach designers how to build better design processes and focus on helping the community as a whole get better by helping designers understand business.
Most recently, I've been helping the Microsoft Edge team work on improving the Developer Experiences of our developer tools and scaling the internal Product Design Process.
As a designer, I am adept at handling both the user experience of digital products and the brand experience of a product's design ecosystem.
I couldn't find a better way to marry the skills I learned as a UX designer and my passion for creating meaningful brand experiences both on and off screens.
