I am Chad Stutz, a product design leader with 15+ years of experience driving strategic vision to deliver user-centered solutions that align with business goals.

At Autodesk, I lead cross-functional teams to redefine experiences through AI innovation, creative storytelling, and  design thing methods. My expertise spans large-scale design initiatives and fostering collaboration across product, engineering, and research teams to create seamless user journeys.

I thrive in guiding remote teams, advocating for users, and building cultures of empathy and excellence—skills I also share as a UX professor, mentoring the next generation of designers. I’m passionate about shaping design that empowers users and drives measurable success.
