Darrien Staton
Hi there! I'm a Product Designer with over 8 years of experience, passionate about making things better and more accessible for everyone. I've enjoyed working on various projects, from AR/VR apps to helpful healthcare tools focused on wellness and cancer prevention. Right now, I'm excited to be designing e-commerce tools and workflow solutions for busy photography studios, ensuring everything runs smoothly for businesses and their customers!
🗺️ Design Process
My process is grounded in curiosity: I dig into the why, design thoughtfully, and collaborate closely to make sure what we ship truly works for users.
Understand – Explore the problem, its sources, and who it affects.
Explore – Research patterns and spark solution ideas.
Design – Create, test, and refine thoughtful solutions.
Deliver – Ensure clean handoff and support development.
Learn – Gather feedback and monitor real-world impact.

🎉 Fun Facts
When I’m not in front of my computer, you’ll find me geeking out over the latest tech trends, collecting board games, vibing to music, or spending quality time with my wife. I’m a huge foodie, love fitness and camping, and am determined to revive my longboarding career (lol). Oh, and I’m always capturing the world through my camera lens.
