I’ve always been drawn to problems that haven’t been solved yet — or old problems that deserve a better answer.
That instinct has taken me from frog and Method to Microsoft, Amazon, and Nike Innovation, always at the edge of what’s possible — new platforms, new AI behaviors, new categories where the interaction patterns don’t exist yet and you have to invent them.
In 2026 I launched Arnett Design to do this work independently — with a broader range of clients, on problems I care about. I’m based in Portland, Oregon.
Background
Twenty years of product design across consumer tech, enterprise platforms, and emerging technology. I’ve led design at the IC level and at the director level — which means I can set the strategy and still do the work. My focus for the last several years has been AI-powered products: designing for behaviors and interactions that don’t have established patterns yet, in domains where the stakes are high and the margin for bad UX is low.
