About Danny Miller

I\'m an executive-level UX and design leader with 20+ years of experience building high-performing teams, shaping enterprise design strategy, and driving measurable digital growth. With a track record of leading cross-functional teams, developing design systems and operating models, influencing executive stakeholders, I\'ve spent my career connecting research, accessibility, and behavioral insight to product strategy and customer outcomes.I currently lead UX strategy for Medtronic’s direct-to-consumer eCommerce platform and digital self-service ecosystem, using customer data and behavioral insights to help double online revenue to more than $1B in under four years.As Vice President of UX and Design at Aware and Verndale, my expertise was keenly focused on managing a talented team to craft exceptional experiences through engaging graphic design, best practices in usability and accessibility, and effective information architecture. As a director, I led a team of up to ten UX professionals through creative direction, collaborative mentoring, and efficient process development; as a UX Designer, I created award-winning user experiences and designs for hundreds of clients across dozens of industries. With nearly three decades of experience in designing for digital and beyond, my expertise in UX and design is fortified by an extensive knowledge and understanding of the underlying code and a clear focus on the user. This knowledge allows me to better understand the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the medium, and to therefore deliver the best possible product.CORE STRENGTHS• Enterprise Design Strategy• Enterprise UX Strategy• Digital Transformation• Creative Direction• UX in Agile Product Development• Human-Centered Design• Digital Design Systems• Cross-Functional Collaboration• Product Strategy Alignment• User Research• Accessibility• UX Roadmapping• Governance & Prioritization• Team Development• UI Design• Journey Mapping• Information Architecture• Wireframing• High Fidelity Prototyping• Usability Testing• Voice of Customer• Measurement & Optimization• Internal & External ApplicationTOOL & METHODS• Figma• Sketch• Adobe Photoshop• Adobe Illustrator• Adobe InDesign• Adobe Creative Suite• Axure Pro• AI Prototyping• Zeroheight• Usertesting.com• Hotjar• MS Clarity• Behavioral Analytics Tools• Google Analytics• Adobe Analytics• Analytics-Informed Design• Agile / Scrum Collaboration• HTML / CSS / JavaScript• Enterprise CMS• Jira / ALMs• Prompt Writing• MS PowerPoint• MS Excel• MS Office Suite
