Tana Green designs in two built worlds. Ten years as an exhibition and interiors designer taught her how people move through space; sixteen years in product strategy and UX taught her how they move through software. The inspiration between the two is her practice.

About Tana Green

Tana Green, Assoc. AIA, is a Lead Consultant in Product Strategy and Experience Design, working from Seattle. Her first decade was spent in architecture — museum exhibitions and commercial interiors with firms including Ralph Appelbaum Associates and Thinc, on projects such as the National WWI Museum, the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and the First Americans Museum.
In the sixteen years since, she has led UX strategy, product design, accessibility practice, and delivery in digital — through agencies and consultancies including Razorfish, Digitas, C&G Partners, Filter, IQVIA, and AIM Consulting, for clients including American Express, T-Mobile, Microsoft, Starbucks, Nintendo, TC Energy, and 3M. Her sector concentration is healthcare and life sciences, financial services, telecommunications, energy, and cultural institutions.
Both halves answer the same question: how does a person find their way through something they did not design? A gallery sequence and a claims workflow fail for the same reasons — unclear entry, no orientation, no recovery from a wrong turn. That throughline is why accessibility sits at the front of her practice rather than at the end of it.
Her work has regularly reached national and global scales: design systems, enterprise platforms, mobile applications, and consumer experiences serving millions of users worldwide. One product she designed supports citizen participation in democratic processes across 40 sovereign nations with a combined population of 2.4 billion people.

Core Process Principles

Evidence before opinion.

Behavioral research and product thinking together as well as research that changes the roadmap, not research that ratifies it.

Accessibility as structure, not remediation.

Conformance is designed in at the experience strategy and component levels, then governed so it survives the next release.

Complexity into clarity, built to endure.

An experiential structure still legible fifteen years after launch is the outcome she optimizes for.

Away from client work, Tana cycles, hikes, sails, skis, sketches, and travels to look at cultural landscapes — still watching how people find their way through spaces, tools, and each other.
