Robert J. Butler

Focused on

I design scalable enterprise experiences that balance user needs, business goals, accessibility, and engineering realities. Over 15+ years, I’ve helped organizations like Google, AT&T, DIRECTV, and Cox transform complex systems into intuitive, measurable digital products.

About Me

I’m a research-driven Senior UI/UX Designer and product-minded technologist with deep experience across enterprise platforms, responsive web, native mobile, internal tools, and design systems. My work sits at the intersection of user research, stakeholder alignment, interaction design, visual systems, accessibility, and implementation partnership.

I’ve worked across large organizations and complex ecosystems, translating ambiguity into clear product direction, usable workflows, and scalable interface patterns. My strongest work happens when I can connect discovery, strategy, design execution, validation, and delivery into one clear story that moves teams forward.

Selected Case Studies

A clearer look at how I approach discovery, definition, ideation, design validation, delivery, and measurable outcomes.

Case Study: AT&T Global Navigation System

Enterprise UX, design systems, navigation strategy, stakeholder alignment, and implementation support.

Discovery & Research

Partnered with product, business, and technology stakeholders to understand navigation inconsistencies, access-control needs, content ownership, and user workflow friction across a complex enterprise ecosystem.

Define

Framed the problem around consistency, scalability, governance, and user confidence. Defined requirements for a reusable global navigation pattern that could support multiple business properties and teams.

Ideation

Explored navigation models, layout patterns, hierarchy, access states, and interaction behavior through wireframes, design rationale, and cross-functional review.

Design & Validation

Created high-fidelity interaction patterns and prototypes, reviewed usability concerns with stakeholders, and iterated toward a scalable system that balanced user clarity with enterprise constraints.

Delivery & Outcomes

Supported development handoff, implementation alignment, and UI consistency across multiple properties. The work helped establish a more reliable navigation experience and stronger system governance.

Ownership

Owned UX analysis, wireframing, interface direction, prototype support, stakeholder communication, and front-end partnership through delivery.

UX Process

1. Discovery & Research

I start by understanding users, business goals, technical constraints, and stakeholder expectations. This includes user research, stakeholder interviews, product audits, analytics review, and problem discovery.

2. Define

I synthesize findings into clear problem statements, user needs, personas, journey maps, task flows, requirements, and prioritization frameworks.

3. Ideation

I explore multiple solution paths through sketches, wireframes, design workshops, information architecture, and rationale-driven concept development.

4. Design & Validation

I create high-fidelity designs, prototypes, component patterns, and interaction models. I validate decisions through usability testing, stakeholder feedback, accessibility checks, and iterative refinement.

5. Delivery & Outcomes

I partner closely with engineering through handoff, design QA, implementation support, and design system documentation. I measure success through adoption, usability improvements, conversion, efficiency, and lessons learned.

Ownership

I'm comfortable owning the full UX lifecycle or stepping into a focused role across research, product strategy, design systems, interaction design, prototyping, validation, or delivery.

Capabilities

Practical skills I use to move digital products from ambiguity to delivery.

Research & Strategy

User interviews, stakeholder workshops, journey maps, competitive audits, discovery synthesis, product framing, and roadmap influence.

Product Design

Responsive web, native mobile, dashboards, internal tools, workflow design, prototyping, information architecture, and interaction design.

Design Systems

Reusable components, Figma libraries, design tokens, accessibility patterns, documentation, governance, and design-to-development alignment.

Accessibility

Inclusive design, responsive behavior, contrast checks, keyboard-aware experiences, semantic structure, and WCAG-informed decisions.

Technical Collaboration

Developer handoff, front-end awareness, HTML/CSS/JS familiarity, React collaboration, design QA, and implementation support.

Measurement

Usability improvements, conversion paths, efficiency gains, behavioral analytics, adoption signals, qualitative learnings, and product outcomes.
