About Joel Connell

I specialize in designing highly usable, data-rich interfaces for technical and enterprise users. With 14 years of experience, including 10 years in the DevTools space, I translate complex requirements into intuitive designs that directly increase engineering efficiency and product adoption.My passion is to streamline workflows and solve challenging problems that deliver tangible business results. For example, in previous roles, my designs have led to a significant reduction in time-on-task for developers and improved code quality by making complex data and processes easy to navigate. I champion a collaborative design process, working closely with engineering, product, and QA to ensure a seamless product lifecycle from concept to delivery.I am proficient across the full design stack, from conducting user research and crafting design systems to building high-fidelity prototypes with Figma and Axure.I am actively seeking new opportunities. Let\'s connect if you\'re building products that simplify complexity and drive real business value.
