Martin Hall

UX leader with 20+ years of experience across enterprise software and AI systems. Now focused on designing for agents and the humans who work alongside them. I bring the full stack of skills to take an AI system from concept to something an engineering team can actually build. Illustration and typography taught me to solve visual problems fast. Software taught me to solve them at scale.

I am a designer living in Seattle, Ballard to be more specific. I grew up in Ballard. Then I went to college in Stockton, California, where I spent a majority of my time at the pool playing water polo. After my undergrad I returned to Seattle and as long as you don't count the 8 months I lived on a sailboat as it traveled from Seattle to Baja Mexico this is where I've been.

In 2004 after three years as the website chair, I became president of the Seattle chapter of the AIGA. That year I also took a full-time position with Microsoft. In the spring of 2017 I joined Expedia Group where I worked as a Lead UX Designer. In January of 2021 I joined the startup Quiviq. In March of 2022 I joined Oracle as a Principal UX Designer. Over time I have come to realize that the best part of design is the people.
