Esthetics and Experience
My concern is that the user cannot only use the product well, but that the products visuals help, not hinder their experience.
Working with both customers
A UX designer works with the end user and filters through their feedback to get them a useable product, the UX designer also filters and helps align stakeholders and colleagues feedback.
Ideation and Exploration
Most of the fun is testing the fidelity of the idea and then realizing it sucks
Responsive Design
I’m on board when it comes to accessing information. Consistency proves to be a key accessibility point for users.
User Research
I conduct ethnographic studies to discover the behaviors, desires and needs of users. When conducted early, other opportunities are discovered and the scope of the project is more focused.
UI Design
I’m a visual designer and I love making beautiful UI, but more than that I love making great UX translate into beautiful UI.
Responsible Design
Radical, “we love it” features can blow up in your face. It’s well thought out, tested, and scrutinized designs that pay off.
Award Winning Quality
I don’t think I’ve won any awards since high school. At work it’s just compliments and high fives.
UX Cheerleader
Hurray for UX! But not everyone understands what all the hype is about- “UX seems to slow things down” “this feature works, why do we need to pay someone to tell me it works?” – I can help the team understand how UX will make their work stick and be less iterative.
Soccer
Whenever I get the chance I like to play soccer, even though I’m getting older and less agile.
