About Me.
Wade Carroll
Product Designer. Graphic & Digital Marketing Designer.
This is where I tell all? I’m Wade Carroll, Bachelor of Design (Interdisciplinary Design) with a minor in Digital Media. I specialize in UX/UI Product Design, Interactive & Web, and all things Digital; also have a background in branding & print design with an infinite love for advertising. I strive to make things “look good”; to give visual meaning to nonsense. I thrive to be inspired by as much as possible, and hold true to the things that matter in a work/life balance. I love design. I’m inspired by branding & advertising strategies, design solutions on every medium – especially in product. A good font turns me on. Clients come first; and so do animals. Clients & animals. And wine. Ok: Clients, animals & wine…& typography.
17+ years designing; 7 of those years in Product Design, covering UI & UX and all things digital. Observing user behavior and gathering patterns and feedback is the fundamental element that I crave when starting ideating and finding my design solutions. Understanding the ‘WHY’ behind every design decision is essential to my process, and diving deep to improve user journeys. Currently working as a UX/UI Product Designer for an outstanding company with an outstanding product. Important elements in my life are travelling, good food, patios, running, hiking & anything outdoors. Work/Life balance is extremely important for me; mental health while doing what you love to do matters so much. Also I’ve been known to act in film & stage; I’m out there if you look hard enough. Singer/songrwiter/musician with 20+ years classical training on piano.
I’m on new music ventures and starting to release music & videos! Check them out! Available for streaming! Follow my instagram!
My #1 rule: it’s my job to help find the best solution I can find for design problems provided, based on research, patterns, and problem solving. Yes, there are sometimes and a lot of times, multiple solutions but striving to find the most user friendly experience is what I strive to do.
I have a passion of bringing core design ethics and a collaborative approach to each project. In today’s fast paced world, there is a lack of enthusiasm. Lack of connection & direction; attention & care. My approach is to find simple creative solutions, working through the factors that challenge each project.
Promises: one on one development and implement strategical solutions that will truly make your project stand out. With strong attention to detail, I have passion and flexibility that aid in bringing ideas to life, through innovative solutions and design.
