Corbet Griffith

Hi. I'm Corbet

I build digital products at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy — leading cross-functional teams from discovery through delivery.

With over a decade spanning software development, enterprise product management, UX research, and technical systems, I bridge the gap between what users need, what business requires, and what engineering can ship.

I've led product work for international brands including Ford, Reuters, Bronco, and VML — and hold a Master of Science in UI/UX from the University of Michigan.

Outside of work, I self-host a Linux server running containerized open-source infrastructure to stay sharp on the technical side of the stack.
