Hei Der, I'm Erik Sagen

Lead Product UX Designer @ Paychex

For over 20 years I’ve worked at the intersection of UX and UI, shaped by a love of illustration, storytelling, and game design. I build systems that feel human, mentor teams, and uncover the story in every interaction. Leadership, for me, is part craft, part care and always focused on outcomes that matter.
