About
Great User Experience design touches on all aspects of a project from kickoff to launch. Eliciting user needs and translating them into a successful interaction model attained by clarifying business drivers that shape and prioritize those needs throughout the development cycle, while ensuring that the design is on brand, visually innovative, and fresh, to complement the experience and never confuse it. My goal is to orchestrate these elements just right so the final product resonates with depth across cultures and demographics...engaging the user in a seamless integration of design and function.
