Jeff Hurlow’s Summary
I am deeply committed to delivering quality web experiences that satisfy customer experiences and result in the enhancement of a clients’ brand strategy.
My focus has been in the understanding and analysis of social media. By targeting on this area of the web for the last 5 years, I've been able to see and generate ideas that are ahead of the curve rather than playing catch up with those that have gone before.
My goal is to consistantly develop smart solutions that improve on a client's brand. What gets me excited is thinking about the big picture and creating big ideas that move interaction models forward.
Jeff Hurlow’s Specialties:
User experience design and strategy. Unhealthy love affair with the internet.
Jeff Hurlow’s Experience

Director, User Experience Design
Yahoo!
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; YHOO; Internet industry)
May 2006 — Present (2 years 3 months)
I'm responsible for the visual design team focusing primarily on Music but also including cross-entertainment programs.
Responsibilities include the development of creative strategies for products which solve user needs and business goals. My strengths are an ability to look at and analyze the big picture to clearly define the problem space. I am able to develop conceptual models and prototypes in collaboration with colleagues to keep people motivated and focused on rapid iteration. At this point, it's a matter of developing a compelling visual design.
Another important aspect of my role is the career development of my staff. I constantly seek ways to improve their skills and ensure they are given opportunities to extend their range.
Working at Yahoo! gives me the opportunity to develop products and concepts that have wide range implications to the larger web community. This challenge and call-to-action is what gets me excited each day. -
