Senior product and experience design for complex systems.
Cryptic Design works where product strategy, user behavior, interaction design, interface systems, games, and emerging technology overlap. Engage one capability or combine them around a defined outcome.
Four connected capability areas
Product Strategy
Frame the right problem before committing to the solution. Research, audits, product framing, roadmaps, stakeholder alignment, and senior design leadership.
- Research and UX/product audits
- Product framing
- Roadmaps and service models
- Stakeholder alignment
- Fractional design leadership
UX & Interaction
Turn complex tasks, player systems, and workflows into clear, learnable interactions through information architecture, flows, prototyping, and validation.
- User and player flows
- Game UX
- Information architecture
- Interaction design and prototyping
- Usability evaluation
Interface Systems
Build reusable interface foundations that stay coherent as products scale: design systems, UI architecture, accessibility, states, patterns, and implementation guidance.
- Design systems
- UI architecture
- Accessibility and state behavior
- Implementation patterns
- Delivery governance
Creative Technology
Prototype and integrate emerging interaction systems across games, real-time experiences, XR, spatial computing, and AI-assisted production workflows.
- Games and real-time systems
- XR and spatial prototyping
- AI-assisted workflow systems
- Production-system consulting
- Selective implementation support
Engagements scale around the problem, not headcount.
Work may begin as a focused audit, a scoped design engagement, an embedded/fractional leadership role, or a prototype and systems sprint. The structure is selected according to risk, complexity, timing, and the outcome that needs to exist at the end.
