Shane Gryzko, Jay Runham | Now & Then: Analytics, Data-Driven Design, and Meaningful Metrics

Welcome to Now & Then: Analytics, Data-Driven Design, and Meaningful Metrics.

Whether you're a novice or seasoned pro, we’ll share stories to make data-driven design feel less like building a time-traveling DeLorean and more like a journey forward.

Jay brings over 18 years of experience leading design teams and crafting innovative digital products, with a focus on accessibility and ethics.

And Shane, with his interdisciplinary background in engineering, UX, and analytics, advocates for meaningful product changes with real-world impact.

Please join me in welcoming Jay and Shane!
