Who is Ralston Fitler?

I am a Creative Thinker and Problem Solver. My design process is simple: Discover, Define, Design and then Develop. I love to draw and sketch out ideas and solutions on whiteboards or anything I can get my hands on to help share my UX concept or design solution.

Product Designer

Ford Motor Company

Apr 2022 - Present

I facilitate and lead design workshops with stakeholders with varying technical skills, as well as facilitating 1-on-1 user interviews. After conducting an ample amount of user interviews, I provide design artifacts that my team utilizes to understand our user(s). Once design artifacts are produced, I continue my efforts with the stakeholders and users to ensure there is a clear pipeline of information and that the product created solves the user's needs. I also help aid other product designers on other teams if needed. This includes, but is not limited to: work-flows, process creation, and even simple revamps of past design work.
