Hey there 👋

Who I am

My name is Allen Boitz and I've worked in product design for over 10 years.

When I'm not designing, I enjoy coaching & playing ultimate frisbee and questioning my ability to maintain a garden.

What I do

I produce thoughtful, frictionless experiences in the most effective design possible.

Collaborating with and mentoring other designers continues to be a passion of mine.

How I work

I work in a highly collaborative, iterative manner while communicating designs to key stakeholders early and often. I believe that all design input has some amount of validity, all user feedback has value, and the best designs are egoless.

What my colleagues say...

"Allen has an excellent work ethic and his capability to move between strategy to execution is unmatched. He is always on top of industry trends and is one of the most collaborative designers I have ever seen– working easily with product and development to reach both user and business goals. On top of all that, he's a pretty great culture hire, bringing his chill and adventurous personality to every meeting."

Hannah F.

"As our only designer, Allen carried a lot of weight on his shoulders. Not only did he handle the responsibility with grace, but he was constantly taking opportunities to contribute his ideas while simultaneously encouraging his fellow team members. I was able to learn a lot from him personally, and was constantly amazed by how he would selflessly volunteer his time and efforts to help a coworker in need."
