About

Regan Norton

I became a design manager because I realized I was more interested in making other designers better than in being the best designer in the room.

Good UX isn't beautiful. It's trusted. It works when the stakes are high and the user is exhausted.

At GE I led 11 UX professionals building enterprise software for people in aircraft hangars and on factory floors. At Mozilla I rebuilt a team's culture through real organizational turbulence — zero attrition over three years. That's not luck. That's culture.

I've also built something from scratch — a physical product I designed, launched, grew to retail, and sold. I understand what it means to be responsible for every part of a product.
