Independent by design. Phoenix, AZ.

Small studio.
Many open tabs.

I’m Hugh. I turn the ideas I keep coming back to into things people can use. This is my little corner of design, code, and figuring it out.

Hi, I’m Hugh.

Designing and building,
hands on.

I’m Hugh, a product designer and design engineer based in Phoenix. I like following an idea past the mockup: into the browser, through the awkward edge cases, and back to the drawing board.

Hugh Berryman LLC is where those ideas get a place to grow. Some are useful little tools. Some are bigger questions. I’m here for the making, and for the people who might find it useful.

Got a good
“what if?”

If something here sparked an idea, send it over. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
