Built by a practitioner,
not a salesperson.
The Why
For over 20 years, I sat in the hiring manager’s chair. At places like iCapital and Realogy, I led design teams through high-stakes product launches and complex digital transformations. I’ve reviewed thousands of portfolios and interviewed hundreds of designers. I noticed a consistent, frustrating gap: most recruiters can find someone who can design a beautiful interface, but very few can find someone who understands product logic.
The Problem
The market is flooded with “pixel-pushers,” but businesses today need thinkers. They need designers who can navigate technical debt, translate business KPIs into user flows, and defend their decisions with evidence—not ego.
The Solution: White Matter UX
I founded White Matter UX to act as the “connective tissue” between elite design talent and the organizations that need them. We don’t just “source” candidates; we audit their thinking. When you work with White Matter, you aren’t talking to a high-volume headhunter. You’re talking to a design leader who knows exactly what it takes to ship successful products in the “messy middle” of corporate reality.
A Letter from the owner,
Thank you for taking the time to understand our approach and what makes White Matter UX different. We believe in building relationships based on insight, honesty, and deep industry experience.
My promise is you’ll always speak directly with someone who’s been in your shoes—and can offer the clarity, strategy, and actionable solutions you need.
