UX + Product Designer
I'm Ed Mehrer.
I've been a UX and product designer for 25 years, and I still love the work.
I've been on many rungs of the leadership ladder, but it’s the interesting work I’m drawn to rather than fancy titles.
I do my best work on blank-slate problems, with clients who are open to where the research leads. The best wow is when a user doesn't notice the design at all. They just think, “Oh, that was easy.”
Research-led
Let the research dictate the direction. The best solutions emerge from understanding, not assumptions.
Invisible design
The best interface is the one users don't notice. Friction-free experiences that just work.
Blank slate focus
25 years of solving problems from scratch. Starting with nothing often leads to something better.
Selected Work
A wellness app that started with a wrong guess
A small non-profit serving cancer survivors wanted to translate a working physical program into an app. We thought we knew what would bring people back. Three weeks of research told us we were wrong.
