Hi, I'm Dennis Covington.

I’m a UX leader who is a unique hybrid coming from Design, Product and User Experience backgrounds. Despite where I started, at some point along the way I had an existential crisis and realized that I embody all three disciplines. I am simultaneously a creative storyteller, systems thinker, dot-connector, brand steward, detail-obsessor and inspiring leader. My interdisciplinary skill set enables me to be the connective tissue between product and brand, and my technical literacy ensures strong partnership with engineering through the finish line of successful launches.

Want to know more? Here’s me in bullet-point form:

  • I am able to navigate ambiguity and envision complex UX ecosystems, rallying around a common vision while providing space for team-led innovation.

  • I possess a clear vision of the future of user experience and have the courage to lead and pursue forward-thinking design.

  • I am experienced in understanding user and customer needs and can translate those into experiences that provide meaningful value for customers and the business.

  • I am a thought leader and have experience defining high-level strategy (the why) and aligning design deliverables (the how) based on research.

  • I am passionate about upholding design UX principles to help teams deliver cohesive user experiences. 

  • I have the heart of a teacher and am highly motivated to coach and train. I build and share empathy with people in order to deeply understand them and their needs.

  • I see design as a partner in shaping strategic and operational product and UX outcomes; comfortable leading all stages of design for multiple teams within a given product area.

  • I am passionate about supporting teams with a wide variety of experience, backgrounds, and interests.

  • I have a clear philosophy about how to successfully manage remote design teams.

  • I have experience driving organizational change with cross-functional stakeholders.

  • I have a collaborative team spirit with great communication skills.

Need someone like me? Here I am. Have a look around and then let's talk.
