Stuart’s human-centered design skills arc across multiple domains combining UX, UI, graphic design, marketing, psychology, brand identity, data analysis, and user research. He first learned the art and science of UX and UI design on the job, then at institutions such as Georgia Tech, General Assembly, University of Michigan, and through continual self-study. 

His professional background includes a specialization in healthcare marketing and technology. Currently, he’s employed by Optum Care (a healthcare innovations company within the UnitedHealthcare Group), and applies his expertise as Sr. UX Engineer to design medical enterprise software and aid in product development. Prior to Optum, he worked at The CDC, Sound Family Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, and Group Health.

He’s thrilled to share his knowledge and mentor students interested in pursuing a career in the UX and UI field.
