Sean Keating
I’m a digital product design lead with 17 years of client experience, 10 of which have been exclusively focused on creating innovative digital transformations for Fortune 500 clients. My expertise includes mobile interaction and navigation paradigms for both iOS and Android, low and high-fidelity prototyping, accessible design, and collaborative product development with co-located or distributed teams.
I have been described as feisty, and commended for providing clear, thoughtful, actionable feedback in critique and reviews. Although I am well-versed in user-centered design and advocate for the user whenever possible, my experience has made clear the importance of balancing those goals with business needs. I am equally comfortable leading a team to maximize their potential as contributing tactically when needed. When leading a team, I make it a point to allow each team member to play to their strengths and supplement with my own broad skill set as necessary to bring the best possible product to life, on time and under budget.
When I’m not up to my eyeballs in experience design, you’ll find me doing my best to keep my children, Avery and Parker, alive and happy. I get my exercise by running, walking, or biking with our 3 pit mixes: Watson, Venus, and Phin. A Colorado boy born and bred, I feel a profound connection with the mountains that loom over my hometown of Denver, and I would gladly spend every waking moment waist deep in powder on my snowboard — if I could just convince my girls to come with me. I love dark humor; spirited debate; punk, metal, and reggae music (although my tastes are expanding as I age); martial arts when I have the time (which in recent years is never); and using parenthesis when writing.
