As Senior UX Design Specialist, Christian Saylor works to bridge the gap between functionality and aesthetics, delivering beautiful, effective experiences. With 15 years of experience in the interactive design community, he sees the user experience as the touchstone of interaction. It’s the connection point through which a message is heard, a purchase is made, or a thought inspired. His goal is to engage users on a personal level independent of medium, using design to meet them where they are and in ways they’re comfortable with, whether that’s via a mobile or embedded device, a car, a website, or even a well-designed t-shirt.
In order to disconnect with all digital aspects of life Christian loves opening up a good book, spending time with his family and on occasion giving back to the design community by teaching at Kendall College of Art and Design.
