Tudor Whiteley UX Design Leader

About

Tudor Whiteley

I started in early web and mobile product teams, prototyping interfaces before many of today's patterns existed. From there I moved into agency work and then team leadership, building the design practice at eMedia into the operating model I still use today. That path led to provincial scale public platforms, from OCAS's international application systems to UX leadership on Ontario Health's Health811. Most recently I spent a year as sole designer on Finnx, an AI reconciliation product, designing the conversational interface for a system built to abstain rather than guess.

Beyond the day job

Selected by Microsoft as an Artist in Residence, I spent a week in Seattle with a development partner, prototyping interactive 3D text and lighting effects on Microsoft's own platform.

Alongside UX leadership, I have delivered 3D environmental visualization projects for clients including Lockheed Martin, Agnico Eagle, and Calian through independent studio work (Ironfin).
