A seasoned user experience designer with a passion creating and interacting with beautiful, intuitive web and mobile apps. In my projects, I balance what the business and technical requirements are with what the user needs. I am constantly advocating for more user testing and usability research as a means to validate core assumptions made by the business, marketing and technical teams in an effort to ensure the solutions designed and are shipped to the customer are meeting the business needs and solving customer pain points.
Whether its illustrating icons, creating wire frames, organizing data, building user flows, designing HIFI mockups, designing a UI pattern library based on the company's current style guides to speed up front-end development, validating design through user testing and usability studies, creating print and web templates to speed up the design process or compiling market research, I am constantly looking for ways to help refine the design and front-end development process. Because improving the process increases productivity, saves the company money and gives the user more time, and who couldn’t use a little bit more time in their day.
