Hi, I’m

John Maggs

Product &

UX Designer

I thrive on shaping complex problems into simple, meaningful experiences.

Technology excites me, but understanding people drives me.

My Experience

I have been blending creativity, empathy, and strategy for over 5 years.

With a degree in Marketing - Product Innovation from the University of Dayton’s Business School and a UXDI Certificate from General Assembly as my foundation, I’ve built a career around crafting experiences that truly resonate with users.

About Me

With a degree in Marketing & Product Innovation from the University of Dayton’s Business School and a UX Design Immersive certification from General Assembly, I’ve spent the past five years delivering user-centered solutions that drive engagement and elevate digital experiences.

Currently a Product Designer at Paycor, I lead end-to-end design efforts across the Integrations and Workforce Management portfolios — from user research and UI design to workshops and long-term product strategy. I thrive on collaboration and research, ensuring even the most intricate design solutions feel intuitive and effortless.

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me outdoors — hiking with my dog, snowboarding, water skiing, or relaxing around a campfire with my wife and kids. But with Pittsburgh winters being what they are, I’ve built a solid lineup of indoor hobbies too: video games, cooking, home improvement projects, and checking out the latest local breweries with friends.
