About Me

Designing products with purpose and clarity.

I'm Ethan Brooks, product designer based in New York

I’ve worked with teams of all sizes, from agencies to solo projects. No matter the scale, I bring clarity, structure, and a passion for human-centered design.

Over the years, I’ve developed skills that span product strategy, research, and visual design. I lead with empathy and back decisions with data when needed. I’ve helped shape product roadmaps, mentor junior designers, and build design systems from scratch. Each project is a new opportunity to grow, innovate, and design something that matters.

Work experiences

I’ve spent over 6 years designing products for startups, SaaS companies, and enterprise clients. From creating MVPs to building design systems.

Design philosophy

How i think through every design decision.

User-centered design

I prioritize understanding user needs and pain points, ensuring that every design decision is aligned with creating meaningful experiences.

Clarity in communication

I focus on clear visual hierarchies and intuitive layouts, making sure users can easily navigate and interact with the design.

Iterative problem-solving

Design is a continuous process of refinement. I embrace feedback and iteration to improve the product in every stage.

Collaboration & feedback

I believe that design improves through diverse perspectives. Working closely with clients allows me to refine and enhance the vision.
