I’M ZACH BOYLE|| PRODUCT DESIGNER|| BASED IN AUSTIN, TX||

MY APPROACH

I’m dedicated to solving problems – not just making things look pretty. By taking on the mindset of a founder, I dig deep into recognizing problems and finding solutions.

Research

It’s very important to understand the user – their problems, pain points and expectations. Everything should be decided by research.

Iteration

Never settle. Keep pushing to create the best product possible. Test and retest – and test again. Tear it apart and put it back together.

Collaboration

One cannot design in a vacuum. Working well with others on your team is hugely important. The best ideas come from more than one mind.

Solutions

A great solution usually comes when the previous three steps are done well. And even when you think you have a solution – keep searching.

AltWeekly is an online alternative news and lifestyle site and app that features content from multiple cities in the United States. Users can select a city and read features on local news and politics, urban development, music, theater, art movies and more. In addition, users can create their own content.
