Find Design Mentors

I have experience teaching and mentoring on both Macintosh and PC, and have been helping others for more than 15 years. I can help novices become advanced, and advanced become expert. I like to help. Plus, I have an enchanted fedora that allows the wearer to speak design language, technical jargon, and even some English, simultaneously!

Hi there! My name is Ethan Parry. I am a UX researcher and experience designer, with a background in communications. I own a consulting firm that offers UX research & design services and helps companies create cultures of innovation. In my time in both Barcelona and Silicon Valley, I have worked with clients such as Innocells (Banco Sabadell), Adobe, Google, Dell Boomi, Zuora, and Covailnt. When I am not consulting with clients, I am often out of the road leading workshops or speaking at conferences around the world (Spain, Peru, and Colombia). Feel free to ask me anything about: UX design, UX research, communications, innovation methodologies, and freelancing. I hold a master's degree in interaction design, and a bachelor’s in communications.

Here's how I can help:

- Chat: switching careers / understanding UX research & design / anything else
- Activity and Goals: Usually some projects to implement after the "Chat" above ^
- 1-on-1: Mock interviews / portfolio guidance / your questions

After graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, I spent two years in the Peace Corps. I then went on to complete a Master’s degree in Industrial Design from The University of the Arts. I bring a critical worldview and design-thinking approach to my work solving intractable problems, which I have done for many clients. I design and implement human-centered design processes to uncover insights, informing business strategies and service concepts. At the heart of my practice, I bring a contextualized human perspective to any projects I contribute to. My main focus is applied insights and solution envisioning. I believe in designing everything and enjoy helping others learn how to do it as well.

From an idea to inception to execution, I know what it takes to build something different. I observe constantly and absorb accordingly. I am still learning to breathe
