Nam Hoang

Senior UX Consultant | Complex Workflows & AI-Assisted Design

I'm a senior UX consultant with 10+ years designing complex enterprise software for operations teams in aviation, healthcare, and financial services. I take ambiguous requirements through research, prototyping, and engineering implementation.

These days I use AI-assisted workflows to test ideas as working prototypes early, so teams react to real behavior instead of static mockups. I've also published a library of 51 AI-assisted UX methods for other designers to use.

I started as a teenager sketching logos and sneaker concepts, then moved into print design and production, where I learned to ship real work on tight deadlines. That visual and front-end background still shapes how I design.
