Drew Montgomery — Lead Product Designer + Strategist + Advocate + Builder
A designer from the 3rd world, bringing a diversity of thought and a unique lived experience to the 1st world.
I empower millions of people while generating hundreds of millions in revenue by turning insights into experiences for startups, entrepreneurs, and corporations.
Born and raised in Jamaica, now living in Toronto, I’ve seen two sides to the story of technology. Coming from a place with limited access to a hub of innovation, I always questioned how to bridge the gap. Then I discovered user experience design.
My belief that access to technology is a right, not a privilege, guides my design decisions. I help make the world more equitable through my work.
As a creative thinker and problem solver, I enjoy straddling the line of marrying human needs with business goals. Creating great products comes from truly understanding the people using them. Humans willingly incorporate useful and enjoyable experiences into their daily lives.
I’ve designed products that have empowered millions while generating millions of dollars for world-renowned companies. My versatility spans mobile product design (iOS and Android), B2B, SAAS, B2C and AI-driven experiences. I excel in environments that value user research, behavioural data, empathy, diversity, accessibility, and inclusion.
When not designing, I’m either mentoring other designers or teaching kids code, in the mountains skiing, playing soccer or travelling the world. Experiencing different cultures heavily influences the way I solve problems.
21 countries and counting.
