Designing with
Vision & Versatility

Design Icon

I'm Gregory Cooks — a Senior Product Designer based in Chandler, AZ with over 10 years of experience designing digital products across healthcare, enterprise systems,and consumer apps.

What sets me apart is where I started. I originally went to school for 2D and 3D animation — and that foundation changed how I think about design permanently. Animation teaches you storytelling, visual hierarchy, timing, and how to guide someone's attention through a sequence of moments. Those instincts show up in everything I design, from the flow of an onboarding screen to the way a dashboard communicates urgency at a glance.

That background also made me a fast learner. Animation requires mastering complex software, understanding systems, and figuring things out under pressure — skills that translate directly into product design, where tools, platforms, and problems are always changing.

Over the past decade I've led design on enterprise healthcare platforms at TCS, designed AI-assisted healthcare experiences, and founded BarberVerse — a dual-sided marketplace I conceived, designed, and am actively building. I work best in environments where design is taken seriously, where there are hard problems worth solving, and where I can contribute not just screens but strategy.

I'm open to opportunities across tech, healthcare, startups, agencies, gaming, entertainment, and beyond. What matters to me is the work — and the chance to bring everything I have to a team that's building something worth building.

From the Court to the Canvas

Discipline, Creativity, and Passion Beyond the Screen.

When I'm not designing, I'm still thinking in systems — whether I'm coaching youth volleyball, analyzing football plays, or grinding through a gaming session. Sports keep me sharp: focused, adaptable, and always thinking a few moves ahead — just like in UX design.
