My work runs the gamut--from interfaces to multimedia content to user research. Somedays I like broad stroke UX work and other days I enjoy pushing pixels. Variety is the spice. I'm extremely experienced in creative video work, too.

I'm fascinated with decentralized technologies and AI products. These technologies, while complex, offer exciting new frontiers for user experience. My role involves unraveling these complexities, not only by improving user engagement, but also demystifying these advanced technologies and making them more approachable .

Drawing from my background in journalism, I also value research and how the right questions and observational insights can illuminate the real problems that businesses can tackle to increase usability and profitability.

Personal

I live in Brooklyn, NY with my family and my cat, Peanut. I'm a member of the Bitcoin Design Community. I'm a huge fan of ramen noodles, boardgames, cycling, cinema, jazz music and artistic endevors.

Syl Johnson Doc
editor and producer

My path has been varied, because I stay curious.

I began my career as a documentary filmmaker and television editor, working on numerous documentary films and television series.

Here, I learned the art of empathy, storytelling, collaboration, the iterative-creation-feedback loop and the importance of flow. As an editor, my job was to design a structural interface between the mind of the audience and the emotional path of the story. With successful editing, you hold the audiences' focus and maximize a rhythmic, emotional experience through timing, image juxtaposition, implied symbolism, and visual design.

In the past, I’ve worked for Academy Award, Grammy Award, and Sundance nominated projects and teams. I’ve edited projects for HBO, VICE, PBS, NBC, and A&E, among many other companies.
