Hi, my name is
Johanna Evans
I lead teams that thoughtfully
integrate AI
into products using empathy, curiosity, and human-centered design.
I am passionate about using data to design inclusive
products with remarkable
user experiences.
Drop me a note
if you'd like to
see examples.
In the meantime, here are a few things about myself.
My level of happiness increases when I am
solving complex UX, product, or conversion problems.
Understanding and
designing thoughtful AI experiences
allows me to positively impact more people.
Magic happens outside the comfort zone —
getting there with public speaking
.
There is
a term
for my multidisciplinary roots:
I am a “slash” person
.
I strive to raise awareness of ocean conservation with
my underwater photographs
.

From Existential Threat to Thriving Force: How AI is Redefining Design
Design, far from being diminished by the rise of AI, is at yet another pivotal moment of evolution. AI doesn't replace design—it demands more from it.
