Tyler Hartrich
I lead design practices that elevate teams, sharpen craft, and build what actually matters.
Sixteen years spanning product design, learning experience, and practice leadership — now focused on organizations ready to grow their design function with intention.
Recent Work
Origins
I find the beauty in design from the pixel to the platform to the people in a simultaneous form.

My Practice
Point + Periphery
My workflow applies a systems-based problem solving approach — moving from the point (focus) to the periphery (edge). This hypothesis-driven design approach helps uncover the true problem and shape solutions that are dynamic and responsive.

Impact
I’ve helped scale design impact across hundreds of designers and teams.
Design impact can feel intangible. I’ve helped teams and designers create meaningful, lasting outcomes that shape experiences and drive results.

Ask me a real question.
I've answered the easy ones below. The interesting ones are yours to ask.
Questions my Design colleagues have asked me.
More than I should probably admit. There's something I genuinely like about the ritual of a week starting together, but only if the meeting has a spine. Rambling check-ins are a different story.
Systems thinking in situations where most people just see chaos. I can hold a lot of complexity and still find the thing that actually matters.
People, always, but people who care deeply about pixels. The craft is how I earn the trust to influence the bigger stuff.
I tell them I make things easier and clearer for people who are confused. They nod politely. I've stopped trying to do better than that.
Sideways, like most people obsessed with it. Came in through interaction design, stayed for the systems. Sixteen years later, I make practices instead of just screens.
