I’m Erik. I design amazing experiences and lead incredible teams.

“My journey into User Experience began with a passion for giving people time back so they can focus on what matters to them. Since I can remember, I’ve been captivated by the power of good design and the impact it can have on people’s lives and experiences.”

Erik Hanson speaking at Innovate Week

A Rich History of Experience and Results

I am an experienced UX Design leader, operator, and craftsman with over two decades of experience.

My skills encompass the entire spectrum of user-centered design, including user research, requirement gathering, design strategy, and delivery. I excel in prototyping, visual communication, interaction design, information architecture, and UX design.

I believe in Design driven leadership and deep collaboration

I believe the best products are built by teams that are user-centered and deeply collaborative. Continually working for the best experience for the customer from the perspectives of design, engineering, and business can produce amazing results. No single discipline, Product, Design, Engineering or Business, in the team stands alone. We work towards the objectives and results together.

Companies I’ve worked with

Getting the balance right

Family + Life

Before anything else, I’m a Dad. My two kids have taught me more than I could have ever expected. The love I have for these two humans is unbound and unconditional. Watching and guiding them through life and witnessing them become incredible humans is what I’ll always be most proud of.

Fun + Hobbies

I love being outdoors and being on two wheels. I also can’t stay away from technology, design, and UX even when I’m not at work. My hobbies center around cycling, photography, videography, plus building & flying drones. I’m an anime nerd and I enjoy putting together Gunpla models.
