About Thomas Bouchard

User experience executive / strategist and creative director with a broad range of design and leadership experience including software design, product design, brand and environmental design. I have a proven ability to take ideas to market across a broad spectrum of industries. I have built and led numerous design teams of all shapes and sizes, built products from the ground up and have delivered on products/brands that millions of people use every day. I have a passion for working with new technologies, interpret emerging social and business trends to deliver what is next. My passion is design innovation and I have a proven history of using research and design to uncover new ideas; zooming from the thinking big picture to driving execution.  I love building, inspiring, managing diverse design teams for a variety of design and business challenges. I am a strong communicator and storyteller capable of driving change throughout an organization at executive and team level. Using design to humanize technology products and organizations is what drives me every day.
