Brian J. Crowley draws, designs, and investigates why products fail.

A published comic book artist with Image Comics, Monsterverse Comics, Sugar Skull Comics, and others, and a Senior UX Design Leader with 15+ years at companies including DocuSign, Allstate, AbbVie, and CDW, Crowley brings both sides of his brain to his work. He co-hosts UX Murder Mystery with Eve Eden, using true-crime storytelling to examine product failures at companies like iRobot, Wish.com, and more.

Through his consultancy CrowleyUX, teaching at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and volunteer work with civic organizations, he challenges corporate design theater and advocates for user-centered design that actually gives a damn.
