Design is the visualization of meaningful insights. The culmination of empathy and data, distilled down to a compelling vision, expertly crafted into something meaningful
What does a meaningful experience mean? Its all contextual. A bit of delight, maybe some magic, useful of course, beauty is a given. Its meaning should be defined by the group it was built for. It's beauty in it's ability to meet their needs and exceed expectations both visually and functionally.
I've worked with amazing companies, startups, and organizations, partnering to solve complex experiences from multiple different angles
I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing companies solving problems both large and small, complex and simple. Across multiple industries and various mediums.
I've developed a diverse, versatile set of skills due to consistent side projects and 10 years at various digital agencies and consultancies
Adept at using human centered research methodologies to define audience, need states, pain points, product vision, and other discovery goals
Experienced in activities such as: User flows, sitemap creation, Usability testing, wireframe (sketches to hi-fidelity), and basic prototype creation and testing
Very proficient with all design activities including: Digital branding, Atomic library / design system setup, Illustration, iconography, and style guidelines
A natural piece of every project I engage in. I currently prefer Invision as my prototyping tool though I do have some experience in Axure and other prototyping tools
When applicable, UI elements will be taken and using a motion friendly software (Adobe aftereffects, Invision Studio, Adobe XD, Principle.io) to test out the large scale motion implications, micro-interactions, and other necessary opportunities
I can build sites all in Webflow without having to touch the source code (see this site). I do have a basic understanding of CSS and HTML which helps identify when I need the support of a more knowledgeable staff.
