Welcome

My name is Regis. After working as Product Designer and Interaction Architect focused on complex enterprise applications, I transitioned to Design Management in 2009. My first roles in that new capacity at Groupon and DocuSign allowed me to continue delivering on specific projects while learning with my team how to build on each other strengths to increase our collective impact and deliver value to the business.

At the project level, my most significant contributions were to Design Strategy with an emphasis on creating end-to-end Customer Experiences that encompass multiple touch-points.

At the team level, I enjoyed improving Operations by implementing best practices, advocating the role of Design in the organization and guiding individual’s career growth.

In 2017, I was offered the wonderful opportunity to spearhead the creation and launch of Proteus Digital Health first adherence solution for Oncology. In close collaboration with Healthcare providers and the trust of patients, we released our solution in September 2018, an achievement we were all extremely proud of.

Innovation sometimes encounters systemic resistance and Proteus was unable to fully transform clinical successes into commercial ones. With that valuable lesson, I joined Autodesk in 2019 to further prolong the success story of AutoCAD.

    - Paul GiurataCEO, Catalyst UX

  • Regis was the lead interaction architect on a project that was very important to us. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. He took the time to understand our (very complex) existing application, and come up with an improved interface design that we were very happy with. This was an intensive process that took many months. Regis guided the project in a very professional manner. He always produced the deliverables when he said he would. He was patient with us as we looked at various ways of constructing the interface. He's an excellent listener, which was important to us. He had a good way of explaining his designs too. I would certainly hire him again if we have another interface project, and I highly recommend him to anyone else

    - Hank LuhringCEO, IssueTrack

  • It was a pleasure working with Regis. He has an amazing blend of technical knowledge, design aesthetic, and business acumen. Week 2 on the job, he jumped into the deep end by traveling to a customer site; he came back with insights and observations I expect others would have missed. His client engagement skills are as valuable inside a corporation as they are in a consulting agency. I watched him easily establish rapport with many different types of people. And his exceptional visual communication skills allowed him to document problems and clearly communicate solutions. We laughed, we had fun, and we got work done - what could be better?

    - Mary SorberLead UX Architect, Cisco

  • Regis was a direct report at Cisco. In addition to his significant role leading and managing user experience teams, Regis was a thought leader and creative problem solver in a highly complex transformational environment. Individuals often sought him out for coaching and insights. Regis was able to apply his experience to a variety of key initiatives leading collaborative efforts with cross-functional teams. He was able to diffuse highly emotional situations when difficult trade-off decisions needed to be made. Regis has the agility to rigorously represent the external customer’s needs, balance that with key business drivers, and keep technical teams motivated during design, development and launch. I would recommend him as a leader of user experience teams and Regis would also be a great fit as a Product Manager.

    - Soni MeckemDirector, Service Delivery, Cisco

  • Regis is a very well-rounded UX designer and leader with a strategic and holistic approach to all aspects of customer experience. We worked together on a developer experience project and Regis did a wonderful job of conceptualizing, driving and leading the project. he was a delight to work with and began something that will make a big difference for developers using the DocuSign API.

    - Marie HuweVP Developer Programs and Evangelism, DocuSign

  • I hired Regis at Glint to lead a Design Thinking workshop for our cross functional teams. The participants included Product, OD, Data Science and Design and we sought to leverage research and other methodologies to build common ground while learning skills we could apply to solve product strategy challenges. We learned the fundamentals through theory and fun practical exercises before attempting to address a product decision. Applying our new skills to a real problem was tremendously helpful and allowed the team to take away concrete answers. Everyone found the workshop successful and I would wholeheartedly trust Regis with your Design training needs.
