JOSH BARTON
Design projects:
UX and Product Design: End-to-end UX improvements for Litmos, a complex Learning Management System
Hacker Mentality: I led efforts on a 20% project: a UI design for an internal Google research portal
High End Designs: NYC Times Square Billboard Ad Campaign for a landmark website launch event
Experiential Massive Events: sized environmental graphics for live televised national sporting events
Motion Design + Scripting: I was the creative for these animations, from concept to final production
SESSION DETAIL MOBILE VIEW
Mobile responsiveness was an important requirement for our users. Week view and day view configurations we're available in addition to the month view.
LEARNER CALENDAR VIEW
The previous version of the calendar lacked filters and the ability to register for sessions directly from the screen. The updated experience answered these user concerns, and also revamped the UI to match our updated brand kit.
SESSION DETAILS FLYOUT
When a session is clicked, users have the option to register for it and download calendar reminders.
Project Overview:
I led redesign efforts for the LMS's Live Training Calendar. Users struggled with live sessions discovery and registration. We dug into user feedback to create a functional calendar that addressed their concerns.

Ryan Morris
Senior Customer Training Architect
Josh and I worked closely for nearly 6 years. During that time, Josh was the person I depended on for many complex questions around Javascript, CSS, and HTML. That said, he has many skills. Josh and I frequently presented together - he's no stranger to the camera or to being in front of customers. His empathy and problem-solving skills are unmatched. He can design e-learning (SCORM) in different content authoring tools and administer an LMS.
When he decided to change paths and focus on UX design, he taught himself how to code. Finding a true self-starter these days is difficult. You won't ever hear him say things like "I don't know," or "That's not my job." He solves any challenge that's put in front of him; and if he has to learn a new skill completely on his own, he does it joyfully.
Working with Josh is one of the highlights of my career. Josh is a 10/10 on every scale, and I'm happy to recommend him. (2024)

One of Josh's standout contributions was his innovative and intuitive improvements to our dated UI, which allowed customers to rapidly adopt and enjoy our platform. His ability to blend creativity with practical design solutions greatly benefited our user experience.

I reached out to a handful of designers for a project with a fast approaching deadline. By the time 90% of them responded I was already hiring Josh for the second time. His work is clean, and he has beat every deadline I've set for him thus far. I highly recommend him for your design needs. (2013)
