Introduction

I'm a UX design leader with over 15 years of experience delivering innovative, user-centered solutions that drive business results. I specialize in leading teams and creating seamless digital experiences that balance empathy and strategy.

A LITTLE

ABOUT ME

It’s my highest priority to tend to the holistic, long-term needs of my partners with considered detail and care. With my head down and a humble ethic, I craft design solutions with you and yours in mind first.

Interests and hobbies

My passions beyond design are the very things that fuel my creativity. I find inspiration in travel—exploring new places, meeting diverse people, and embracing fresh perspectives. Along the way, I indulge in my love for food and photography. I savor the opportunity to try new dishes and, through the lens of my camera, capture both the beauty of the places I visit and the flavors I experience.

Testimonials

Abbie Kmiec

Sr UX Designer - United Airlines

You’re basically my manager. You were always there to support more than my Manager and Senior Manager could. You do so much at United it blows my mind. You’re killing it.

Senior Manager - UX

United Airlines

I constantly hear from the Project Owner how she feels like working with Garett is a true partnership between product and design. She feels like her thoughts and those of her team are heard and considered.

Manager - UX

United Airlines

Hi Garett, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for all that you do as our Principal UX Design Lead. Your leadership, patience, and professionalism serve as a true inspiration for our entire UX team. Your guidance has been instrumental in helping us deliver high-caliber designs for our customers. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and the positive impact you make on our organization. Cheers to your continued success!

Manager - UX

United Airlines

Garett, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your unwavering support for our team during my absence, ensuring the vitality of our Core UX process. Your patience and exemplary mentorship of our designers have not gone unnoticed.

​

Sr. Manager - UX

Garett has established himself as an subject matter expert in the space. Both leaders and peers seek and trust his knowledge and advice, and he has the willingness to help and collaborate with anyone. Although, he has the respect of many, he remains very humble and is always looking for opportunities to continue to learn and expand his skills.

Manager - Digital Content

United Airlines

He is always a great partner to our writing and publishing teams – but on this particular campaign he went above and beyond to work closely with the development team on tweaks to components to make the page accessible, responsive and visually stunning. (And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention some of those tweaks were happening yesterday after hours and early in the morning during the campaign launch because of some late stakeholder feedback. His availability and flexibility was much, much appreciated!)

Senior Manager

United Airlines

Garett, thank you for all your efforts supporting and coaching our designers and making sure we provide a consistent experience to our customers. I really appreciate all the work you are doing and how you have also being able to step in and pick up projects when we were a bit short of hands. Keep up the good work.

Tom Wall

Manager, UX Writing - United

Garett! Thank you so much...You are so talented and collaborative and great to work with. And thank you for calling us out too when something doesn't make sense or flow. We're all better together.

Senior Manager

United Airlines

I know I speak for my whole team when I say it’s a pleasure to work with Garett and we’re very fortunate to have a partner like him!

Rachel Freeman

United Airlines

Garett is a creative unicorn. He is the best of the best designers and illustrators, and also provides excellent customer service. Those skills typically aren’t found in the same person.

Senior Manager - UX

United Airlines

With great leadership and excellent execution, Garett has earned the trust of the leaders he works with.

Senior Manager - UX

United Airlines

I continuously receive praises for his work and how he is leading the Path to Help sub-mission and helping in the content renovation workstream. Garett has a keen eye to always sees what makes sense for the customer and how a page should be organized for better navigation. He conducts competitive research or takes other research in consideration to make informed design decisions.

Manager - UX

United Airlines

Garett, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge and commend our exceptional Principal Designer in the CoreUX design group. Your dedication and expertise in performing your role within the Content Renovation, Customer Engagement, and IFE have been truly remarkable. Your support during design reviews and feedback sessions has been invaluable in shaping our projects. Your exemplary stakeholder management skills have ensured smooth collaboration and understanding among all team members. Your mentorship of the UX designers has been inspiring, fostering growth and excellence within the team. Moreover, your commitment to upholding the UX process, Design process, and Brand guidelines across various channels has been instrumental in maintaining consistency and quality in our work. Thank you for being a driving force behind our team's success. Your contributions are highly valued and appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work!

Business Analyst

Life Cycle Manager

Having Garett work on my teams' projects elicits great ideas and solutions. His calm demeanor and knowledge of brand standards and familiarity with our site breeds confidence and creativity.  He offers suggestions and provides choices quickly to stay on time with hard deadlines and high-profile functions and topics. I am appreciative of his guidance and open mind approach. Thank you, Garett!

Senior Manager

Emergent Products

I strongly believe one of the reasons the Advertising and Corporate Communications teams are entrusting us with more and more of these announcements on united.com (instead of a 3rd party microsite) is because of the incredible page designs Garett continues to produce. Other teams are noticing the improved quality of our content, and Garett is a huge factor in that!

Manager - Digital Content

Emergent Products

Thank you for your amazing contributions to the design of our renovated content pages. My team loves working with you, and I appreciate how easygoing you are with changes to layouts, timelines, process, etc. You make everything seem so effortless, but I know how much energy goes into this work. We're lucky to have you!

Senior Manager - UX

I constantly hear from the Project Owner how she feels like working with Garett is a true partnership between product and design. She feels like her thoughts and those of her team are heard and considered.

Senior Manager

Garett is an excellent communicator and excels at articulating his design decisions and at advising stakeholders and peers on what the best path forward should be.
