Damon Bakun / Studio
Independent design partner · 20+ years of experience

Smart design across trends, across industries, ahead of change.

I help Fortune 500 companies, startups, and nonprofits turn complex ideas into clear, useful experiences—from fashion and retail to technology, healthcare, and AI.

What I do
Product & UX strategy · Creative direction · Practical AI workflows

A right hand for leaders moving fast.

I partner directly with SVPs, VPs, and founders to work through complex business problems and quickly turn early thinking into clear narratives, working prototypes, and testable customer experiences. Across payments, healthcare, cloud, AI, retail, and consumer technology, the work helps leaders show the idea, get useful feedback, and make the next decision.

Experience across industries.

Selected brands and teams from a 20+ year career.

Hands-on creative, design, and build.

I stay close to the work—shaping creative, designing experiences, pushing pixels, building prototypes, and shipping code. That lets an idea move from an executive conversation to something real without getting diluted through layers of handoffs.
