  About Joe: Joe Johnston VP, Experience Innovation, Universal Mind

  Over 14 years of digital experience with extensive knowledge of mobile and cross-platform technologies. My skill set focuses on user experience and the creation of experience prototypes to help clients quickly test concepts and ideate new ideas. I’m adept at navigating the rapidly evolving and shifting technological landscape, making intuitive decisions amidst information-abundance, where sparse facts mingle loosely with data-drenched opinions. I’ve completed a wide variety of projects, performing duties that include Experience Advisor/Consultant, Digital Strategy, Experience Design, and senior level development.

  As an accomplished author and speaker, I look at myself as a subject matter expert on Experience Design & Innovation.

  Experience design is driven by moments of engagement, or touch points, between people and brands, and the ideas, emotions and memories that these moments create. My experience design philosophy is holistic in nature and takes into account all components required to create engaging and emotive experiences.
