Bridging Design, Technology, and Strategy to Create Exceptional Digital Experiences
Hi, I'm Paul Eschli. For over two decades, I've been passionate about crafting intuitive and impactful digital solutions. As a proven leader, my journey has placed me at the intersection of UX Design, Front-End Development, Product Management, and Leadership. I thrive on understanding complex user needs and translating them into elegant, functional experiences that drive real business results.
I believe the best products emerge when design, technology, and strategy work in harmony. My unique background allows me to not only envision user-centric solutions but also architect and build them, providing effective leadership to ensure seamless execution from concept to code. I've led cross-functional teams and initiatives, bridging the gap between user insights, technical possibilities, and strategic goals, fostering collaboration and accelerating development cycles.
Throughout my career, including significant leadership roles at companies like RLDatix, RL Solutions, and OpenText, and now as a freelancer, I've had the privilege of shaping products that reach millions. My experience includes:
- Leading the design and development for flagship healthcare software, significantly contributing to market leadership and adoption by top hospitals across North America.
- Pioneering scalable design systems and UX strategies that cut time-to-market and ensured consistent, high-quality user experiences.
- Championing WCAG accessibility standards as a strategic priority to create more inclusive products.
- Spearheading research and development using emerging technologies (like AI/ML) to drive innovation and enhance product capabilities, sometimes achieving efficiency gains upwards of 800%.
This often involved director-level leadership, shaping product strategy, setting technical direction, and guiding teams through complex implementations to achieve ambitious goals.
