About
I’m Hunter Hall, a product designer in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Most of my work lives in operational settings — tools that gate agents, ramp crews, and pilots depend on under real time pressure, where a confusing interface doesn’t cost a sale, it creates a safety risk.
I’ve come to believe good operational design is mostly subtraction. The interfaces I’m proudest of aren’t powerful — they’re constrained. They make the right action obvious and the wrong one hard to reach. The principle I keep returning to is simple:
you only work on what you work on, when you’re working on it.
Separate the roles, show each person only what’s theirs, and accuracy tends to follow on its own.
I started in front-end development, and it still shapes how I think — in terms of what’s real to build and how it behaves, not just how it reads in a file. The work I’m proudest of usually started with a small team deciding to build the unglamorous thing themselves, and being right about it.
Photography came before any of it — it’s where the eye came from. I shot for The UVU Review through school and worked professionally before it eased into a hobby. These days my off hours go to cooking and to freestyle drone flying, where I ranked first in Utah in the 2023 IGOW standings.
