Transforming Digital Experiences
Hey there! I'm John Drilling, a UX designer with over 14 years of experience crafting intuitive digital experiences for Fortune 100 companies and innovative startups. As the Principal UX Designer at Precisely, I'm leading the charge in AI-driven product design, turning complex data systems into user-friendly interfaces that feel like a walk in the park.
Driving Impact Through Design
My approach combines deep user research, cross-functional collaboration, and a never-ending curiosity for emerging technologies. This strategy has led to significant outcomes:
Boosted user satisfaction by 18% across key products
Grew design teams from 3 to 18 members
Implemented design systems reducing UI inconsistencies by 40%
Beyond the Pixels
When I'm not immersed in the world of UX, you might find me:
Guest lecturing on UX leadership at MBA programs
Speaking at industry events (fueled by an endless supply of coffee)
Mentoring up-and-coming designers
Exploring Charlotte's coffee shops under the guise of "user research"
Traveling to gain new perspectives that inform my design thinking
