Patrick T. Noble

Most recently Associate Director of UX at Broadcom and Moody's Analytics, where I led and mentored designers

I lead design teams and help groups that used to work separately share one way of designing, while staying hands-on in the work.

How I lead

I start by listening to the people who use the product, then put research and prototypes in front of the teams building it and let the results make the case. I've introduced design at organizations where it was new and set shared standards where teams had each gone their own way. I use Claude and Gemini every day to move faster, and I review every decision myself.
