Hi, I’m Rayan 👋
Product design leader, strategist, and mentor living in Denver, CO 🏔. I enjoy leading, designing, and supporting people in building products that people love. My secret to designing successful products involves aligning the values between customers, technology, stakeholders, and the greater eco-system — then collaboration and crafting the solution that's scalable in our evolving modern culture.
My free time is spent reading on the latest tech trends and supporting individuals in leadership development. I often mentor and contribute towards startup and entrepreneurship communities, and have been featured on the media, including KUSI news, San Diego Business Journal, WCGA AM Radio, and more.
Hi, I’m Rayan.
I'm a UX designer who can code and has a passion for sparking innovation, creating products, empowering team, and driving results. Or, simply put, I'm a unicorn who builds products that build businesses and people.
I simplify complex problems from beginning to end, delivered through data-informed metrics and modern design. Currently leading Mobile Studio design and related projects at ServiceNow.
I frequently volunteer in the innovation and entrepreneurial space, and provide early-stage startup and business mentoring, allowing people to discovering opportunities and providing them with experience-based solutions that moves the needle in the right direction. On my free time you can catch me prototyping, writing code, hiking, spending quality time with friends and family, following up on tech, or working away on the "next big thing".
I've been creating design and code since age 12. I majored in B.S. Computer Science from California State University, graduated from the Startup Leadership Program (and later invited to lead the program), participated in many startup pitches, and never exhausted in contributing to the local communities.
Hobbies
When I’m not at work, you can find me at community events, mentorship programs, or writing code.
It’s important for me to surround myself with individuals who are all up to great things, and support people who are looking for growth and challenge. You can read some of my contributions I’ve made here.
⚽Play is a huge part of my life, and it shows up at work. We get to play, try new things, and do things together.
🚀 I’m also writing a new book around creating a self-foundation that buys you time to do the things you want.
Fun Fact: I was Tom Selleck, Magnum P.I.
I challenged myself to personally raise $2500 for St. Judes Children’s Hospital in 7 days, and promised donators that if my goal were to be reached, I’d be running my first half marathon as Magnum PI. I ended up raising $3000 and fulfilled my promise :).
I partake in team-building obstacles and enjoy stretching myself beyond what I feel is possible.
Things we can nerd out over coffee:
Intuitive Products & Design
Business and Self-Help Books
Connection, Vulnerability, and Shame
Travel, Culture & Food
Running, Health & Nutrition
Android vs iOS
Tesla vs Everyone Else
