My Design Journey
Hi! I’m Andy Miller, a UX/Product Designer with over 10 years of experience in freelance, startup, and corporate settings. My passion for design began in grade school as a hobby, creating banners, posters, shirts, and websites. I launched my design career in print at Print Direction, where I focused on transitioning the print market into web sustainability. By developing an online re-ordering system for previously printed materials, we significantly improved customer retention through enhanced ease-of-use and increased sales by eliminating the friction of phone orders.
After my tenure at Print Direction, I fully immersed myself in web design at Dick’s Sporting Goods, creating websites, web apps, and marketing materials for large brands such as the NFL, Little League, AYSO, and Pop Warner. My role involved enhancing and maintaining our youth league-focused web product, managing design needs for marketing including web, social, and convention presence, and collaborating with various brands in a client-facing capacity.
In 2019, I joined Stack Sports and began working on more product-oriented projects, taking on a UI/UX role overseeing a multitude of youth sports products. This role allowed me to focus on user-centric design while handling marketing and other web needs. My experience at Stack Sports involved working on diverse products, from a league app to a referee-focused app and a race timer and ranking app, which expanded my knowledge and reinforced my user-centric philosophy.
In 2022, I transitioned to Cox Communications, where I embraced a new opportunity to refine my skills and experience. I quickly became a leader on the design team, spearheading new processes and structures for the company. These initiatives facilitated greater collaboration between internal teams, ensuring a seamless transition from discovery to design to development.
Overall, my journey has been driven by a commitment to creating user-centered, aesthetically pleasing, and functional designs, always striving to meet and exceed user needs.
