Startup Founder & Product Designer

 

Chris Shepard

I'm currently Cofounder & CEO of a design tech startup, Wisiwig. Previously, I've been in product design and design leadership roles for over 10 years. I specialized in bringing consumer-like experiences to the enterprise domain. I've led design for PaaS/SaaS solutions for numerous industries, ranging from energy and manufacturing to financial services and education, at both large enterprises and early stage startups. In design leadership roles, I've hired and developed design teams from the ground up, elevating the impact of design on organizational outcomes.

Where can you find me when I'm not behind the screen? I'm a poker player, golfer, Korean adoptee, outdoor enthusiast, finance/econ geek, and ramen lover. I also love spending time with my two cats, Desmond and Bobo. 

 

 
 
 
 
“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer – that the designers are handed this box and told, “Make it look good!” That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs
