MATTHEW SCHWARTZ

I’m a UX and Product Designer with 15+ years at a SaaS and ecommerce platform company and 25+ years of experience across web, visual design, photography, video, and digital media. I turn requirements and stakeholder input into clear user flows, intuitive experiences, interactive prototypes, and practical developer handoffs.

One of the things I enjoy most about UX is improving what already exists – identifying friction, inconsistencies, and opportunities, then refining the experience so it becomes clearer, easier, and more polished.

I do AI-assisted front-end prototyping using Claude Code, VS Code, and Git, as well as Figma for interface design and interactive prototyping. Throughout the process, I apply human design judgment to usability, interaction details, edge cases, and implementation quality.

UX and Product Design: Product improvement; interface and interaction design; responsive web and mobile; information architecture; user flows; wireframes; usability principles and design heuristics.

Prototyping and Refinement: Figma interactive prototypes; reusable components and shared styles; iterative design; UX evaluation and testing; error handling; edge cases; design consistency.

Requirements and Delivery: Requirements synthesis; specifications; user stories; acceptance criteria; UX presentations; developer collaboration; documented handoff; implementation review.

AI-Assisted Prototyping: Functional front-end prototypes; Claude Code; VS Code; Git/GitHub; shared repositories; branches; pull requests; code-aware collaboration.

I bring 25+ years of multidisciplinary creative experience spanning web and graphic design, photography, and photo editing. That background has given me deep strengths in composition, hierarchy, visual communication, and polished digital execution.
