Hi. I'm Joseph Neville (he/him), a UX Leader & product designer with over 20 years of experience designing and building software for web and mobile platforms. Most recently, I was UX manager & lead product designer at Jobvite preceded by roles at eMoney and Oracle.

I advocate for a collaborative, inclusive design approach guided by a drive to innovate with action toward impactful solutions. I believe in failing fast, learning, and adapting to opportunities.

Empathizing with customers and using insights to help product teams make better decisions, design can offer great business value.

Ability to focus on minimum viable solutions supporting iterative work towards a bigger design vision balancing future design with immediate business needs.

I've successfully led teams by connecting ideas and different approaches to solve problems in early discovery, 0-1 products, and improving existing features.

My super strengths are curiosity and critical thinking being able to dig into complex problems and asking insightful questions around edge cases, hypothetical assumptions, and UI patterns enabling teams to understand complexity and try to focus on minimal viable solutions.

My unique blend of graphic design background, UX research, and experience building websites enables me to understand how software is built. I've launched successful projects in enterprise, B2B, and B2C products.

Comfortable as a player-coach recently as my UX team got smaller I had to wear many hats stepping up in director-level strategy and planning with product leadership, mentoring and coaching my team, and taking on IC work in design and research.

Design Leadership: Strategy & Vision • Coaching/Mentoring • Design Critiques • Cross-functional strategy & dialogue • Relationship Building • Resilience

Product Design: Visual Design • Interaction Design • User Research • Prototyping • Facilitation • Figma • Usability testing

I'm inspired by movies, video games, comics, art, futuristic technology, board games, books, and Philadelphia sports.

• Grew UX influence by leading the design process, team, and strategy—increased user research sessions by 50% in 6 months, resulting in higher user retention and satisfaction
• Led UX strategy for major initiatives that resulted in impactful business value for Jobvite, eMoney and Oracle
• I was featured in Webdesigner & .Net magazines for my portfolio and an interactive Bloody Mary site to promote my work on Halloween that utilized a user's webcam to create a mirror-like effect. The site had huge traffic and was done in Adobe Flash (RIP)
