Hello, I'm Rick Franklin,
a Strategic Designer
with an unstoppable curiosity

I integrate human needs and business goals to generate innovation and value for both. I have worked on projects from smart mirror interaction to credit line optimization, always putting the user first and translating research findings into meaningful insights. Check out my résumé to learn more.

On the side, I’m also a passionate dad, musician, and thru-hiker of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.

Get in touch to gab about any of these topics or hear more about my work.

Light up a message to tell me about your needs and how I can help you discover new user insights, or to talk about backpacking and music (especially if you’ve got a fiddle for my clawhammer banjo).
