About Me
Over my career, I've obtained over a decade's worth of experience in problem solving, designing & creating systems, interviewing, collaborating with multiple departments/stakeholders, and data analysis. With all of these skills and my love for creating memorable experiences, technology, and the arts transitioning into the UX/UI field has been an experience that feels natural and fulfilling.
My strengths currently consist of Product Design, Interaction Design, Program Management, and Research. I'm constantly working to improve my strengths as well as giving great attention to my opportunities for improvement. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, and please feel free to reach out to see how we can work together!
My Design Process
When I sought out to create my design process, I wanted to ensure that I build a system that would help ensure I left no stone unturned, and provided adequate opportunities to view the situation from the client's view as well as the user's view to ensure satisfaction for all.
Please feel free to look at my preferred practices at each step of the process below!
Define
Empathize
-
Client Interview - Familiarizing ourselves with the client, their goals for the project, and familiarization with their brand to ensure it's properly portrayed.
-
User Research/Interviews - Familiarize ourselves with the typical users, build rapport with them, learn about their goals & pain points, and analyze findings to create actionable items to create solutions.
-
Empathy Maps - Consolidate information from interviews to focus on manageable and actionable items to focus on how the user can create an enjoyable and memorable experience.
-
User Personas - Distill the findings of groups into encompassing personas which highlight key findings and accessibility concerns to help the team remember who we are creating the app for.
-
User Journey Maps - The user's journey does not start and end in the site. There are almost always external matters as well. Familiarizing ourselves with the user's entire journey helps us identify opportunities to make life easier for users and save time as well.
