I'm currently part of the senior management team @ projekt202, a leading digital transformation consultancy. During my time here, I've helped grow revenue by 200%, worked through an acquisition with a $9BN market cap global organization, and supported purchases of several regional offices. Throughout this hyper-growth, I started by building one of our region's biggest User Experience teams, moving to help the overall organization with sales, marketing, and strategy. While growing the organization, I continued consulting with Fortune 500 digital leaders on their journey to experience-driven transformation.

A little more about me…

NATIONAL SPEAKER

A skilled presenter and speaker, Jeremy has shared his expertise with audiences at notable industry forums such as the IA Summit, Digital Dallas Summit, and the Big Design Conference (which he also helped start over 15 years ago with several other leaders in the Dallas area).

 

STREAMER

Jeremy is no stranger to video and training. Jeremy was part of the “Expose UX” series devoted to identifying UX issues with early-stage startups. In each episode, startup founders seek help and insights from a panel of UX experts.

 

TECHNOLOGIST

I'm passionate about technology innovation and how it will change our world. From blockchain to gaming and on to the metaverse, I'm an early adopter of modern technology experiences that will eventually drive the future.

 

MOBILE DESIGNER

I helped create one of the first web apps Apple featured after the iPhone launch (for Travelocity in 2008!). This paved the way for an ongoing relationship with Apple that led to the mobile app once the app store was officially announced. I also oversaw the mobile web and mobile app launch @ GameStop – with double the industry-standard mobile traffic visiting these properties daily.

INNOVATOR

In my time in-house with the Travel Industry and the Retail Gaming Industry, I have been asked to envision what can be. It could be casting out a 5+ year vision, where anything is possible, planting a flag to march towards – or a more tactical 2-3 year vision, something achievable in the near term. What experience will help us compete, what experience will leapfrog what's out there today.

RETAIL EXPERT

Working for a top 500 traffic site in the U.S. – with a passionate customer base – you have to be on your toes. Working to improve visits, page load times, marketing, usability, promotions, and overall site experience. Working retail with a strong brick-and-mortar presence adds another level of multichannel complexity to the mix.

I’m no stranger to crowds, cameras, or classes…
