Shane
Bouchard
Senior design leadership and high-quality execution — without the overhead of a full-time executive or traditional agency.
Thirty years turning design into business value — Disney, Charles Schwab, GitLab, and beyond. Embedded with teams that need senior judgment now, without a full-time hire.
Selected organizations
Led the enterprise design system unifying web, iOS, and Android for millions of users. A native-first philosophy respecting platform conventions — not forcing a single cross-platform aesthetic.
8 projects across 4 parks — from cast ops systems to AR concepts to real-time wayfinding kiosks for the world's most visited theme park resort.
Brand, growth, and UX at the world's largest all-remote company. Proposed the Unified Dashboard Framework and contributed to the Remote Playbook — helping GitLab scale design across 65+ countries.
"Shane is an excellent leader. He walks the line between leader and peer with perfect balance. He was our shield and our champion when we needed. Shane enables his employees to excel. He offers creative guidance when needed as well as being an exceptional listener. Shane is an excellent addition to any team."
Wesley Williams — Senior Principal User Experience Specialist
"It's unusual to find people as highly skilled and passionate as Shane. We worked closely together for many months and the outcomes were always better as a result. He's good at dealing with deadlines and managing projects across a team, he's creative, has a ton of practical experience in different development and design disciplines, and is willing to speak up if he sees opportunities for improvement."
Jed Gresham — Product Leader · Growth, SaaS, PLG
"I have worked with Shane over the last 10+ years, in different organizations and projects and can state with total confidence that Shane is one of the most talented Designer, UX/UI Expert and Creative Managers that I have ever worked with."
Tony Carter — Technical Leader · Cloud Solutions Architecture
"Shane distinguished himself as a rock-solid leader and played an instrumental role consolidating our corporate-wide UX efforts that will shape the company's customer-facing portfolio for years to come."
