In my 8+ years of Product Design Experience, I’ve learned that design is a team sport. On this team of highly-skilled product managers, engineers, and marketers, I often act as a bridge between my team members, balancing stakeholder needs with user needs; product vision with technical feasibility, to ensure that the team’s collective strategy–to bring a high-impact product to market–is met. I’ve learned that data is the common business language uniting our team, enabling us to plan a successful roadmap, justify design choices, and align our goals to impact retention, conversion, and revenue. I’ve learned that my role on this team is not only to advocate for the user by crafting designs that address their needs, but it is also to translate research into a product vision, using narratives that connect design rationale to business outcomes and helping my team identify opportunities for innovation. 

After 8 years, I’ve learned that I will never stop learning. With the rapid pace at which user expectations, tools, and technology change, there is never time to be rigid or static. To be on my game requires constant curiosity and passion to educate myself and integrate the latest best practices and tools. From emotional design to minimalist design, from research frameworks to AI app-development, it is essential that I understand what drives the latest trends so that I can embrace constant change.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet your team and create big ideas together. I can be reached at krollerjohnson@gmail.com and you can find my linked in profile here.
