Hi, I'm Brendan Stern. I’m a Product Designer who blends UX, motion design, 3D design, and game design to craft interactive, engaging experiences. From user research to final designs, I have a hands-on approach to every phase of the process, ensuring products that are as intuitive as they are visually captivating.
I seek to work with clients who dream of new possibilies, who want to better our world, and build their brands with the latest tech, art, storytelling, and products that drive results.
I work with startups to Fortune 500’s on user experience, strategy, user interface, games, and motion design.
I work from my office in St. Paul, Minnesota, but I've worked remotely with companies across the U.S. since 2007.
