Hello, I’m Brent Pruner — a hands-on creative director and experience designer. I drop into product and brand teams and get the work done, with a particular love for design systems and an AI-assisted workflow that moves from idea to working prototype fast, without cutting corners on craft.

I’ve worked across a wide range of products, platforms, and stacks, for teams in every stage of building. I adapt quickly to how you work and what you’re building, rather than forcing a single way of doing things.
Discovery & Strategy
Research, journey mapping, IA, and UX strategy, the thinking that sets direction.
UX Execution
Flows, wireframes, prototyping, and UI design, the craft of making it real.
Systems & Delivery
Design systems, enterprise UX, accessibility, and working across teams to ship.
What brings you here?
Contract Work
You’ve got work that needs an experienced set of hands
Site enhancements, a design system that needs building or rescuing, a gap on the team. I’m set up to start fast, established LLC, own tools, minimal onboarding. Tell me what you’re facing and I’ll walk you through work relevant to it.
You’re looking for someone solid, sustainable, and current
I’m open to the right full-time role, a senior design seat that keeps me hands-on and close to the craft. Deep experience, low ego. Start with my background, then let’s talk.
Putting today’s AI platforms through their paces for prototyping and production, testing what each is good for and folding in what genuinely helps, not chasing every new release.
Building a SaaS product of my own, end to end, from strategy and brand through UX and go-to-market. The best way to stay sharp is to ship something real.
Still playing guitar, Artie Tobia and I recently shared a bigger stage. It’s all on Instagram.
