I design reasoned solutions to complex ideas.

Plus humble, kind, approachable, and a superb collaborator—that's what I'm told.

Neurotically detail-oriented: with typography, layout, color, form, and function.

Cool under pressure, easing client fears of the unknown, and earning stakeholder trust—even in ambiguous situations.

Always hitting my deadlines.

With experience spanning over 30 industries (see my resume), I bring a breadth of knowledge that aligns with the needs of nearly any business.

My mental vault of reference projects, built over the years, has sharpened not just my craft but also my soft skills.

I find collaborating with clients and stakeholders, even in uncharted technological territory, an easy task that I anticipate.

Nothing lights me up like making someone else’s software experience better.

Beyond design, I code too.

Running local sandboxes to work closely with engineers, whether it’s React or Vue templates, fine-tune designs, and implementation—clean, well-commented code.

I can handle multiple plates spinning at once—usually 4 or 5 projects, depending on their pace.

Oh, and if personality types are your thing, I’m an INFJ.

Let’s talk and see if we might create something amazing together.

Cheers, Bert

 

Currently

I'm exploring artificial intelligence's role in user experience design, leveraging my nearly three decades of digital design experience across thirty-five industries, helping people bring their ideas to the screen.

See my portfolio for Case Studies.

My expertise lies in identifying the right problem — a user-centered, design-thinking process to arrive at a logical resolution — delivering top-tier creative digital design solutions targeting the defined issue.

I have nearly three decades of knowledge and skills in visual design, user experience, typography, and color theory.

I excel in navigating projects with ambiguity, complex challenges, and tight deadlines, keeping everyone informed.

Building strong, trusting relationships with clients and executives is vital to my approach. Committed to lifelong learning, I continuously update my skills, sharing my accumulated wisdom whenever possible.

LAST BIT

bertmahoney.com was made for you by me—Bert—using WordPress with the Semplice theme, a variety of plugins, a sprinkling of custom programming for effect, lots and lots of coffee—actually too much coffee—90's hip-hop, and GenX vibes. Because we all know GenX is the coolest generation that everyone else wants to be in, whether they'll admit it or not.

Word.
