About Jeff

Everything you’ve heard is true. I rock!

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jeff Gothelf and I am a product designer. Recently I published Lean UX: Applying lean principles to improve user experience (O’Reilly 2013).  I’ve led cross-functional, collaborative, agile teams at organizations big and small. In my spare time (ha ha) I am also a blogger and public speaker . I do a lot of thinking about Agile and Lean UX and design issues.

I also happen to be a dad, husband, musician and all-around funny guy (at least I think so).

In 2012, I launched a lean product design and innovation studio called Proof in NYC where we work with companies (big and small) building and designing innovative product ideas while helping those organizations adopt leaner development processes. In late 2012, Proof was acquired by Neo Innovation Labs – a larger organization backed by Eric Ries and Joi Ito with an identical vision. We are now the NYC office of Neo.

I’m easily found on all the obligatory social networking sites but your best bets to get in touch are Twitter (@jboogie), LinkedIn and email.
