Skills
Discovery Research
Gaining insights, trends, and new opportunities through an integrated and continuous investigation of a problem space is one of my favorite phases of a project. I utilize a mixed-method approach for gathering data from qualified participants to uncover the "why" behind user behavior, then create novel solutions to help us build the right thing.
User Interviews
Speaking with users to understand their motivations and behaviors uncovers how a product or feature may provide value to them. I have experience in preparing unbiased discussion guides, documentation, and have facilitated interviews with users that spur new insights and strategy for product teams.
Usability Testing
Testing an interface with users can be exciting, sometimes challenging, and often eye-opening all at once. I have both led and participated in usability testing that has validated concepts and prompted us to rethink more effective ways to enhance experiences.
Interface Design
Whether an interface requires a modular design system or a more unique, handcrafted set of UI elements, I'm committed to both modern accessibility standards while practicing a human-centered approach to creating functional and developer-friendly digital interfaces.
Prototyping
Breathing life into a static interface by animating how elements move, interact, and convey status to users can transform a dull user experience into a compelling one. I enjoy crafting prototypes that captivate stakeholders, validate ideas, and delight users in oft-charming ways.
Product Demos
Communicating to stakeholders how a feature or product will benefit both users and the business is crucial to a product’s success. I revel in storytelling clear narratives that explain the "why" behind our decisions, the process we followed, and how it benefits everyone involved.
