About – Bystrom Design

UI/UX Design Lead • Design Director

An end-to-end creative, with proven experience in bringing insight, ideas and execution expertise to concepts, stories and brands.

I’m a UI/UX Designer and Design Director specializing in creative strategy, brand strategy and digital design leadership. I work with organizations of every size and market segment to turn their true points of difference into competitive advantage. My work comprises twenty-plus years experience that has been focused on solving complex communications needs to deliver innovative, engaging products and creative solutions.

Creative communication is at the heart of what I do; I’m highly skilled in generating ideas and crafting design that connects with consumers and inspires them into action.

I’ve worked with some of the Texas’ best agencies and the world’s biggest household names to both lead teams and create exciting campaign concepts, develop brands from scratch and design smart digital and print solutions that bring it all to life.

Insight

Powerful products and campaigns are built on a strong understanding of consumer behavior. This insight shapes my creative strategy and informs my approach to any project, adapting methods and ideas ensuring the great solutions reach the right people.

Ideas

I create exciting, adventurous yet commercially viable concepts that hit goals right on point. Working independently or collaboratively, I am skilled in navigating exploratory processes and directing creative teams to do the same, adapting to deliver the perfect response to any brief.

Execution

I pride myself on being able to take projects from start to finish, ensuring consistency throughout. My natural instinct for bringing detail, balance and impact to every project – teamed with my diverse set of skills and deep understanding of modern digital languages – means I have the expertise to bring ideas to life.

I've been fortunate to have worked with some great brands.

Clark is our graphic designer and assists us regularly with new ideas and projects. We have been very proud of our association with Clark, as his creativity and knowledge is extensive on many levels, from website construction to culinary photography for the website to coaching computer skills to the executive chef.

Clark would be a great asset to any team and we consider him a member of ours, rather than just a contracted employee.

I have known Clark personally for almost twenty years in my capacity as Creative Director of Leo Burnett Technology Group, but most recently as Principal/Creative Director of Dandy Idea. Clark has worked for me on many projects as a designer, illustrator and an extra creative head — and based on his performance, I would rank him as one of the best designers I’ve had the pleasure to work with.

Clark always submits fresh, well thought-out concepts, illustrations, and designs for our clients. Needless to say, Clark is highly intelligent and has great analytical, interpersonal and communication skills. If his performance with Dandy Idea is a good indication of how he would perform, he would be an extremely positive asset to your company.
