Travis Gertz
A versatile, experienced designer, developer, and business owner who’s as comfortable in the board room as he is in Figma and VS Code.
A shiny portfolio isn't enough
Your designers are talented but struggle to align with other teams and stakeholders.
Design operations are disorganized, lacking consistent processes and communication systems to deliver the right things to the right people at the right time.
It's frustrating to see designers advocating for a seat at the table for years, only to find that they lack the qualifications.
A good design leader needs more than killer design skills. They’ve got to understand how to align with technology and other departments, elevate their team, and leverage design to drive the goals of your organization.
A designer who can what?
I’ve succesfully run (and pivoted) businesses, designed applications, websites, design systems, identities, magazines, books, posters, and even business and financial models.
A leader who cares
I've been part of building companies and communities, bringing in awesome teammates, and supporting them through hiring, training, and mentoring. I love connecting people and care about my teammates, supporting them in reaching their goals.
A versatile designer
I am a proud design generalist who can take an idea from concept to completion in web, print, identities, and even business, and then help bring it to market.
An adaptable executer
I’ve helped build Louder Than Ten for 15 years, running operations, design, and marketing. I helped transform it from a web design studio to a project management and operations consultancy. I also facilitated its transition to a worker-owned cooperative.
