Tyler QuackenbushUX Design · Project Management · AI · 10+ Years
I take an ambiguous problem, such as a customer that won't sign without proof or an AI rollout with no real plan, and turn it into something people can use.
I want to work on hard, ambiguous problems, in a role that mixes design and project management.
I'm Tyler, a UX designer and project manager with over 10 years at a government contractor and a public university. Most recently, I help design and run the 10-day Pre-Discovery sprints that help win federal contracts. I also helped build AI Foundations, the course every employee takes before using our internal AI tools, and I'm project manager for Experience Studio, the four-person design team.

Federal agencies won't sign a contract on a promise. Agile Defense proves the idea first, building working concept prototypes clients can react to before competitors have written a proposal. I've contributed to four of those prototypes, project-manage a design team, and help build the AI training that reaches around 1,500 employees.
A public university site grows one department at a time, and nobody's responsible for the whole thing. Mine had 20-plus navigation menus. I helped decide what stayed, what merged, and what finally got cut.
The same three steps, regardless of industry.
