Who is This Guy?
Yes, my name really is Coburn Hawk. Coburn is an old family name and I have cool parents. I am a User Experience designer in Los Angeles. I have a passion for building systems that work well & make a difference in people's lives. My UX experience includes subscription services, agency work, software consulting firms, SaaS product design, and UX for complete voting systems. I love building teams and great products.
Proud to have been the Lead UX Designer on the complete overhaul of the LA County voting system. This was the mock election before the March 2020 launch.
Passion for user research: Quantitative testing provides a valuable data set. Qualitative testing reminds us that we are designing for people. A well moderated test can provide deep insights into the mindset of users and inform strategic product directions.
As one of my passion projects, I have published a Science Fiction novel called "The Middle Man." At work on more books.
Over 120 in the series of oil paintings that began in 1998. Most of the paintings are in private collections as they were commissioned "portraits" of the human spirit.
Delivering good user experience for voting really feels like using my powers for good. So proud of the solutions we made real for voters.
The “Ballot marking Device” also known as the “BMD” designed and developed for Los Angeles County. Part of a complete voter experience.
Kayaking and driving my beloved truck to new adventures. These are a few of my favorite things.
