Eric Lamanna is Director of Business Development at UUX.co, where he drives growth through enterprise partnerships and AI-driven solutions. His background is in digital product management, and he works at the seam between what a team wants to build and what the market will actually pay for.

Eric brings deep expertise in AI, automation, and cybersecurity, and spends most of his time with product and engineering leaders who need design capacity without adding headcount. He writes here about the operational side of design: how subscription models really work, what in-house versus outsourced actually costs once you count the overhead, and how to keep a design queue moving when the roadmap changes mid-quarter.

He is particularly focused on aligning technical innovation with commercial opportunity — building the partnerships and processes that let a small design team punch well above its weight.
