Hey! Im Bret Wardle...

I'm a seasoned product leader with 15 years experience in software, apps, and games. This includes a broad expertise in cross-functional leadership, agile/scrum methodologies, telemetry data analysis, and more. I pride myself in using a data-driven product leadership approach, including a strong desire to get into the details directly with users.

Based in Salt Lake City,  My passion lies in bridging the realms of design psychology in both gaming and software. I have dedicated my professional career to uncovering the intriguing parallels between professional e-sport players and software power users, as well as exploring the social dynamics ignited by elements like "hi-scores" in productivity platforms. I find joy in translating these insights into tangible enhancements and features, creating products and experiences that people LOVE!

Using the links below you can watch my  2022 TEDx Talk, "Can a 90s video game be a standard for experience design?",  for a captivating dive into his perspective on the fusion of gaming and design.  You can also find examples of my project work and find what other platforms you can find me on.
