Design Process

 

Design Philosophy

I'm an explorer at heart and my attempts to discover myself have lead me to where I'm.

My design philosophy is built around my core values of curiosity, independence and challenging the status quo.

My primary work experience has been in the area of online marketing. I've worked with several clients to enhance their online presence. My desire to understand how different aspects surrounding product development combine to create a positive experience led me to the field of Human Computer Interaction.

In my current role as a User Researcher and Interaction designer, I interview users, sketch, and prototype solutions and gather feedback to make iterative designs.

I'm able to glean first-hand feedback from users by conducting usability tests, surveys and focus groups. I synthesize findings and communicate insights that bring the team closer to the needs of the user.
