About Me

Iā€™m a product designer, who creates powerful and elegant designs that consistently achieve the highest level of performance.

As a designer, I think across mediums and scale to synthesize user needs into creative solutions. I begin each project with a blank slate and an eagerness to first understand the needs, pain points and motivations. With rapid ideation, I explore varied approaches that are distilled to the final resolution that will balance user needs, technical considerations and business goals.

I have a 12-year record of successfully leading teams and initiatives that meet business objectives from concept to realization and performance analysis. Based in New York City, my experience spans fashion, real estate branding and marketing, and a premier arts and performance organization.

Along with design, I enjoy visiting art galleries and museums, architecture, photography, fashion, running, weightlifting, cooking, baking and gardening.

I love meeting new challenges as well as connecting with other passionate people. If you would like to connect, please contact me at neildrew@me.com
