Summary
Lucien Frelin is a Senior User Experience Designer with 12 years of professional experience and over 15 years designing digital products that prioritize clarity and usability. Based in Norfolk, VA, he blends hands-on front-end development (HTML5, CSS3, JS) with user-centered research and data-informed decision making to drive measurable product outcomes—once contributing to a 125% conversion improvement over five years. At CarGurus he leads cross-functional teams, mentors designers, and translates business needs into elegant prototypes and high-fidelity visuals; his background as a lead UI developer means he’s comfortable shipping features from wireframe to production. He also runs a long-standing freelance practice, enjoying “side hustle” projects that solve real customer problems. Lucien’s training at Old Dominion University and Harvard’s HBX program gives him both design craft and business analytics fluency, a useful edge when advocating for design solutions that move metrics.
