About me

John Hurley speaking at the Well-b exhibit space.

While at CVS, I had the privilege of coaching and managing a team of 18 Designers, Content Strategists, and Inclusive Design Specialists. I fostered a culture of partnerships by facilitating workshops with Product and Engineering Executive Directors while balancing team capacity and influencing our roadmap with strategic user research. As a result of our cross-discipline collaboration, we delivered several business critical initiatives that simplified healthcare access and management.


Before working at CVS, I was a contractor, conducting research to define user problems, identify opportunities, and help business partners better understand their users’ journeys. I worked alongside design and engineering teams to create and code user interfaces and design system components for organizations in consumer electronics, SaaS, insurance, education, and health care spaces.


My clientele included:

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
  • Bose
  • Boston Children’s Hospital
  • CVS Health
  • Covision
  • Destination Cape Cod
  • Droplette
  • GoTo
  • FMeX
  • John Hancock Insurance
  • Liberty Mutual Insurance
  • MegaFood
  • Newport Folk Festival
  • Ninjadex
  • Upskilled
  • Your Call Football

When I’m not designing, I write about visual design topics—most recently—animation and icon design. And in my free time, I also enjoy performing and writing music with my band, surfing, rock climbing, and learning new languages.
