Exploring the value that design offers business and human growth

My name is Caleb Barclay, and I’m a consultant product designer with an itch for experimental interaction design and Product-Market Fit. My time is spent thinking about and building products that use design as an edge.

Bio

Caleb Barclay

Great brands should be felt, not forced. That’s why stretching the boundaries of interactive design, creating experimental UI, and leveraging design systems to scale software has helped me launch products that engage users and grow businesses. I’m also a maker, building my own products with some great friends.
