About
Britton Stanfill
Head of Product Design & Senior Director
At TubeBuddy, I helped an acquired agency and software business find shared direction when their goals and language diverged. I started with research, turned that evidence into a product vision, and helped the organization align around a path that Bill Gates later validated. That's the work I do — make complex situations legible, then turn alignment into action.
Design Philosophy
Research First
Every major decision starts with understanding, not assumptions. At TubeBuddy, that meant ~300 creator interviews over 4.5 years and building a research practice from scratch.
Show, Don't Tell
I drive change through demonstrated value. When the organization was skeptical of AI, I built an independent React Native proof in 4 weeks, guided by the production app's functionality and APIs — and changed how the organization approached AI-assisted delivery.
Design for Everyone
Accessibility is foundation, not afterthought. I taught WCAG compliance at DevMountain, and I build inclusive standards into every design system I create.
Career
TubeBuddy / BENlabs
- Directly involved in due diligence during acquisition by GameSquare — presented product vision that contributed to closing the deal
- Helped a Utah AI leader extend from customer-paid predictive models and AI services into AI-assisted product delivery — shifted engineering and design practice through demonstrated results
- Built and led team of 8 product designers and the company's first UX researcher, each embedded on different product teams
LogMeIn / Jive
- Grew from Senior UX Designer to Director of UX over 6 years, managing a team of 12+ designers across Utah, Boston, Montreal, Quebec, Brazil, Hungary, and California
- Created acquisition concepts showing how Jive's products could integrate with potential acquirers' offerings — work that helped Jive ultimately get acquired by LogMeIn
- Oversaw design for GoToConnect across web, Android, and iOS, plus GoToCallCenter, GoToAdmin, and GoToRoom — each created or substantially improved under my leadership
DevMountain
Evenings & weekends — held alongside my full-time role at Jive / LogMeIn
- Created Utah's first UX bootcamp curriculum with accessibility as a core pillar, not an afterthought
- Created the UX course that became one of the key offerings leading to Capella's $20M acquisition of DevMountain
- Mentored 230+ UX professionals who went on to roles at Adobe, Amazon, Qualtrics, Square, and startups
Qualtrics
- Led a team of 5 designers and frontend engineers, building custom experiences for enterprise clients including Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon
- Hired Tyler McGinnis (now a prominent frontend educator at Fireship) — he credits Britton for teaching him CSS and design
- Regularly tapped by Marketing for brand and design projects, contributing to Qualtrics' growing brand presence
Early Career
- Multimedia Intern at Council on Foreign Relations — contributed to the Emmy Award-winning Crisis Guide: Iran
- Lead UX Designer at PayRoll Innovations — led product design for a startup working with engineering and business stakeholders
- Lead Web Designer & Developer for a non-profit — designed web experiences and developed content strategy
In Their Words
There is no one more deserving of a recommendation than Britton. Not only is he a driven self-starter who initiated the UX Bootcamp movement in Utah, he is also a talented problem solver, leader, and mentor. Britton taught me and many others UX design and has been instrumental in growing the product design community.
Having Britton work integrated with our team was extremely effective — we could quickly iterate on the product vision with a lot of customer involvement, he brought us new technologies that improved front-end development, and he led Jive to a more customer-driven development process. Britton is a unicorn: extremely good at experience, but also exceptional as a designer.
I'm certain there isn't another employee there who works harder than Britton to make Qualtrics successful. Combine that hard work with his fantastic design and development skills and Britton makes for a fantastic employee — and one of the first people I would try to hire if I were starting a business.
Britton is a great teacher, mentor, and friend. He cares for the success of those he leads, he is intrinsically motivated, and always looking for ways to improve. He asks for criticism, keeps an open mind, and leads with confidence.
