About
Not only am I a designer but a creative thinker and communicator. My focus is to take requirements and problems and find the best solution for the end user using clean and simple design.
I am able to take a project from concept to completion while providing useful deliverables through the process. I can gather requirements, provide user analysis, create flowcharts and wireframes, conduct usability testing, create user stories and the final design mock ups. I also create in-browser designs with HTML, CSS and Javascript to provide more value during the user experience validation.
I provide creative leadership within a team environment but pride myself on being an excellent listener. I communicate progress and direction to the team and customers as well as validate the design direction with the end users.
My specialties include: Interaction design, user experience, critical thinking, website & mobile app design, agile development, HTML, CSS, marketing & brand design.
