Tyler Wayner

Senior Designer, UI/UX Strategist

Years at BFT

Recognition

W3 Silver Award (4), Davey Silver Award (2), Addy Award Winner, Davey Gold Award, Web Marketing Association, Webby People’s Voice Nominee

With the ability to occupy both the design and development worlds, Tyler’s love for making things that are both beautiful and functional is what drives him to maintain this dual citizenship. He also enjoys the variety of challenges it creates for him—from building custom animations for social posts and designing apps for trade shows to digging into CSS with the Dev team. In the end, it’s about taking ideas and crafting them into something tangible that people want to interact with. And, that’s exactly what he’s been doing for all our manufacturing, financial services, and business services clients for most of his 13+ years as a designer.

“It’s all about being happy about where you are but never stopping long enough to be complacent. It’s looking at your failures as steps toward your next success.”
