Tyson Doering
Hello, I'm Tyson Doering

I create digital experiences with a goal to improve everyday life.

I'm a UX designer at SCAD. I've led design on an internationally awarded app and a two-platform product redesign — and I put every design in front of real people before I call it done.

What I'm working on

In progress
Self-directed research — 2026

What happens to athletes after the game ends

Professional athletes spend a career inside a structure that schedules their days, defines their identity, and disappears the moment they stop playing. I'm researching that transition directly with retired players to find out where the existing support actually breaks down.

This one didn't come from a brief. I grew up in this world, and it's a problem I kept hearing about and couldn't find anyone designing for. The design direction will come from what the research says, not the other way around.

Problem space defined

Narrowed to post-professional transition after mapping the wider territory.

Research instrument built

A written study designed for a hard-to-reach group, with open-ended prompts and a support-rating scale.

Fieldwork

Collecting responses from retired professional players.

Synthesis & design

Themes first, problem statement second, screens last.

About me

Savannah, GA

I want to design and build things that improve people's lives and create an impactful change.

Sport, fitness, and health are the industries where I hope to make that impact.

Background

Raised in the sporting world

My dad played nine seasons in the NFL, then built a career in sports media. I grew up around athletes and athletics — it's an industry I know from the inside out.

Daily life

Athlete myself

Sports and training are part of my daily life, which is exactly why I want to design for fitness, health, and performance organizations or products.

Side work

I create, not just design

In my off time I've built autonomous AI agents that scan markets, news, and SEC filings — my favorite systems-thinking playground.

Ongoing

Always learning

I'm constantly exploring emerging technologies, AI, and new design methods to build better digital experiences.
