  • about

Joe Fulginiti - UX Design ConsultantI’m part project manager, part lead ux designer and part design director. I’m a ux specialist, problem solver, and team builder. My goal is to create a culture of collaboration, while making every team I work with better.

My specialty is bringing together business, creative, and technical teams to identify and eliminate roadblocks, enabling the creation of clean and engaging user interfaces. As an Experience Design leader, I love delivering inspired ideas to completion through research, data and analytics. I’ve managed and mentored creative teams in designing projects from mobile applications to large-scale enterprise platforms for companies such as Toyota, Lexus, HP, Adobe, CNN, City National Bank and Warner Bros.

Formerly the Ux Design Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, the exclusive agency for Toyota, I’m currently contracting from Los Angeles area. Please feel to reach out with any interesting projects or ideas.

I also mentor at the General Assembly in Santa Monica and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. I believe my ‘why’ is to make other peoples lives easier and I am truly happiest when achieving that goal.
