Andrew Breen
Senior Digital Designer
New York, NY, USAI am an Irish UI/UX designer currently living in Brooklyn, New York. I am passionate about user-centered design thinking and solving complex user journeys to give users the best and most simplified experience. I’ve been designing digital experiences for over 6 years across a variety of industries such as sports, heritage, banking and cultural sectors. I am currently working at SportsRecruits where I am responsible for all phases of the product design UX process, from concepting and information architecture to wire-framing and prototyping.
I believe great product design comes from a focus on the right questions, not the right answers. Providing a successful interaction between the user and the product/ interface is ultimately the role of the designer. I am motivated by opportunities to take a problem full circle—answering human questions with simple, intuitive products.
