Visual design and storytelling expert for tech startups

I help your brand grow online by telling the visual story that makes your users want to become customers.

I'm Paul Parson, designer and digital creative director, and I solve problems with design-thinking and well-crafted design systems.

More about me

I'm pretty good at these things if I do say so myself.
Let me help on your next design project.

Visual Design
My tools of choice are Sketch and Invision for bringing high fidelity prototypes to life.
UX Design
I start with sticky notes and my sketchbook. Once I have a concept, I use Keynote to flesh out the user journey.
HTML/CSS/JS
Being a designer today means knowing how the technology your building for works. I have just the right amount of front end dev chops to be dangerous.
Design Thinking
I start by getting to know the customer and asking the question “how might we…”  to frame pain points as design problems.
Design Leadership
Getting a seat at the table means knowing how to speak the language of executives and find positive outcomes for both customers and the business.
Product Management
Taking control of a backlog and managing priorities in order to find product market fit is like second nature to me.
Don't take my word for it
