What I contributeSkills honed through experience

I bring a range of experience to my design work. I have a breadth of understanding of all parts of the design delivery and have robust understanding of the challenges involved in building and transforming design practices.

UX Design

Core deliverables like wireframes, use cases and storyboards; to user flows, personas, and interactive prototypes.

User Research

A balance of qualitative and quantitative research experience—from ethnography to think aloud protocols to product utilization analytics.

Graphic Design

Yes, I love to sketch on whiteboards; but also am adept at creating iconography, vector graphics and font design. I ve also done page layout and publication design.

Design Leadership

I have built out and scaled up numerous teams; handling recruitment for UXers, Info Architects, Designers, Content Strategists, and Front End Devs.

Mentoring

Our field is only as strong as those who come after us. I am proud to say that I have been actives in formal mentoring programs as well as coffees with  voices new to the field.

How I WorkMy Approach to UX

User Experience and its processes (despite my innate preferences) are not always linear and clean. The approach taken with each client or team I have built has been slightly different. Noentheless, at its core, each has had common phases These phases may overlap or circle back to pivot in response to new learnings, user needs, or business conditions.

Is it Design Thinking, Lean UX, Dual Track Agile or another method? Meh, kinda sorta. All these (and more) have influenced my approach.

01Strategy

Determine the need: Set the stage for the why. What is the busness need that intersects with user desires.

02Research

Observe, empathize, and engage with people to understand their motivations and experiences This is the time to learn and define the problem in the voice of the user.

03Ideate (Sketch)

Generate Ideas. I love to do this on whiteboards (physical or digital). Lo-fi sketches of parts of the experience. Present the desired flow the user should take. Start small and tweak.

04Design

Translating the requirements into visuals to enable feedback and provide direction for build as well as can be used to get feedback from stakeholders and users.

05Build

I dont code (much); but that doesnt mean UX disappears when it is time to build. We pair with those who build to ensure that they know the why to help make choices.

06Launch

Once built and after launch, UX should be reviewing metrics and looking at qualitative feedback on how the design is working for the busisness and users.
