PORTFOLIO OF A.J. RUSSO
CREATIVE DIRECTION • MARKETING • UI/UX DESIGN
Hey there, welcome.
Welcome to UX Agent, the portfolio of A.J. Russo, a seasoned creative director, marketer, and UI/UX designer with extensive experience in the realm of interactive multimedia design.
I believe, as designers, we are agents of the user experience, charged with lessening the learning curve for those destined to interact with the products we create.
Simplifying complexity is our mission, achieving user adoption and business growth through user-centric thinking that ensures our products are intuitively understood.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
As a creative director and product designer based in the Philadelphia area, I have spent the last 24 years leading both local and remote teams, driving innovation and marketing for all kinds of digital products, from mobile apps and B2B web tools to interactive entertainment systems.
What I love most is bringing teams together—collaborating with people from different backgrounds to create great solutions. I’m a big believer that the best ideas come when everyone’s voice is heard, and I take a lot of pride in creating that kind of collaborative culture.
Outside of work, I’m equally passionate about fostering a culture of collective success. As a coach and the program chairperson for Whitpain Softball, I’ve helped young female athletes of all ages grow both physically and mentally, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and collaboration in achieving success both on and off the field.
