Debbie Levitt has been a UX strategist, designer, and corporate trainer since 1995. Back then, she was strategizing websites for The Miss America Organization, Schering-Plough, local businesses, and customizing large eCommerce sites before off-the-shelf systems were a thing. On the side, she taught school teachers to write HTML and stop stealing images off the web.
As a “serial contractor” who lived in the Bay Area for most of this decade, Debbie has influenced interfaces at Sony, Wells Fargo, Constant Contact, Macys.com, Oracle, and a variety of Silicon Valley startups. Clients have given her the nickname, “Mary Poppins,” because she flies in, solves the problems, improves everything she can, sings a few songs, and flies away to her next adventure. One client nicknamed her, “Tenacious D.” for being a change agent and tireless advocate for the customer.
Ptype UX and Product Design Agency has been Debbie’s UX agency for years. They focus on UX projects of all sizes for companies ranging from startups to the Fortune 100.
Debbie has presented at conferences including eBay’s Developer Conference, PayPal’s Developer Conference, UXPA, and WeAreDevelopers. Debbie also writes a regular column for CMSWire’s Digital Experience channel called, “DevOps, Product Design, and UX.”
She is an O’Reilly published author, one of few instructors on the planet recommended by Axure, and has released a number of courses on her Ptype Academy website. Trainees have included employees of Oracle, Salesforce, NBC Universal, Intuit, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), Sephora, Newport News Shipbuilding, and consultancies including Razorfish, Fjord, Rauxa, and Slalom Consulting.
Her newest workshop is, “DevOps ICU: Measurably Increase DevOps Results Through Improved Processes and Workflows.”
Outside of UX work, and sometimes during UX work, Debbie enjoys singing symphonic prog goth metal, opera, and New Wave. She’s now a Digital Nomad splitting her time between the USA and rural Italy.
