I am a UX designer with a penchant for curating empathetic experiences derived from extensive design research. I have eight years of experience creating end-to-end designs integrating SEO data, formative discovery research, in-person and virtual user testing, and iterative design analysis.

 

My passion is to create beautifully functional designs that are also functionally beautiful. I specialize in symbiotic connections drawn between design and psychology through which latent qualities of the user’s tangible experience can be expressed.

I believe in results-driven solutions derived from empathetic design research. The interchange between cognitive human factors and user experience is enhanced through understanding heuristics, affective and cognitive psychology, semiotics, and aesthetics. Ultimately, designers have a responsibility to champion their user's needs and wants.

The well-known double diamond has become the standard of how to develop well-rounded and impactful product experiences. I've listed my personal skill-set in each phase of production to reveal what I bring to the table and have also defined each section as what I personally feel is the goal of each phase.

Empathetic product experiences are best achieved with an objective viewpoint guided by honest investigation. This provides clarity in synthesis, inspiration during ideation, and cohesive product experiences upon delivery.

I find if I want to understand how someone works, I have to understand their ethics and beliefs. Designing with intent requires focus and goals. As such, I created a creed of sorts through a series of totems to depict my values as a designer.
