About Adam Gilson
I am a user experience leader who loves to solve problems and achieve results. I have 20+ years of experience in UX including 12+ years leading teams. My strengths include crafting connected product visions, building consistent UX/UI frameworks, working with data to make decisions, telling data stories that inspire action, and scaling UX. I thrive at collaborating with product delivery teams, and cross functional counterparts to create impactful user experiences. I truly enjoy finding, coaching and managing UX talent. I’m a doer, and servant leader who will always jump in first to get my hands dirty. I thrive at collaborating with product teams, executive stakeholders, and cross-functional leaders to create impactful user experiences. I truly enjoy recruiting, coaching, and managing UX talent. I’m a good old-fashioned Wisconsinite at heart, growing up a few miles from Lambeau Field - of course I enjoy cheese curds, brats, and tailgating. Now I live in Wauwatosa with my wife Lisa and two boys Bennett and Luca. An entrepreneurial spirit runs in my blood, in fact I started Giltee Apparel Company as a hobby in 2016, and our clothes are now available in 100+ retail stores.// Specialties // design leadership, coaching, user experience design, user research, collaboration, design thinking, idea creation, rapid prototyping, information architecture, creative direction, visual design, branding, presentation // Mentality // Good design is organic, ever-evolving and based on feedback.
