Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRay Gonzales is a senior UX designer with nine years of experience crafting user-centered products across startups and enterprises, currently shaping experiences at AWS. He champions research-driven design, turning complex flows into simple, engaging interactions through storytelling, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration. As a former UX lead and director at Zappos and Virtru, he built design systems, evangelized UX practices, and enabled non-designers to contribute to better outcomes. Ray pairs visual sensibilities—typography, illustration, and photography—with hands-on "code dabbler" skills to bridge design and implementation. Based in Seattle, he brings a global perspective informed by time teaching abroad and a portfolio that emphasizes empathy and measurable user impact. Outside work he explores creative crafts from silk screening to guitar, which he credits for keeping his design thinking fresh.
