About Christy Ennis-Kloote
Natural optimist driven to find solutions to any design challenge, particularly those that traverse complex systems, together in a cross-functional team. I have built and managed multiple teams that have delivered on multi-modal product experiences in many markets, such as Agentic workflows, consumer, B2B, medical, and automotive. My background in Industrial Design, applied today in UX (HCD), drives me to understand and seek out users’ unmet needs and answer them in the execution of the product or service. As a lifetime consultant and community builder, I am motivated to learn constantly. These learnings influence customers, clients, and product strategy with a new perspective to make a larger impact on the approach, resulting in more meaningful outcomes. Specialties: Project Planning, Strategic Communications, Product Strategy, Product Roadmaps, Multi-Platform Experiences, Framing Design Direction, User Experience Design, Wireframes, UI System Design, System Design, Proposals, Business Strategy and Team Building.Today I am working with consultancies on everything from strategy, concept ideation to development of digital and physical experiences.Do you need a team to support you on your journey or do you need clarity where to start?
