About Me
I’m a UX designer looking to implement and contribute towards impactful progress, one step at a time.
User Experience design aligns with my passion for both analytical thinking and creative expression. The delicate interplay between form and function—a principle I hold dear from my BFA in Industrial Design—continues to shape my work to this day.
My design philosophy
01
Discover Needs
My initial goal is to fully understand the issue and its scope. I begin by familiarizing myself with the project's key stakeholders and fostering relationships to gain a broader context of the situation and the individuals involved. This foundation allows me to develop a research strategy that dives deeper into the problem, ultimately leading to the creation of a focused core problem statement.
02
Design Iterations
Armed with insights, we move forward with design iterations to quickly generate and explore potential solutions. Depending on the project's timeline and budget, this could range from lo-fi sketches on pen and paper to leveraging an established design system. Communication is vital at every stage, as each iteration plays a key role in bringing the vision to life.
03
Refine Feedback
Each iteration is accompanied by testing and feedback, driving continuous improvement. This cycle is repeated diligently, refining the designs based on critiques to ensure the product reaches its highest potential and delivers the desired impact.
04
Deliver Project
No product is complete without thorough proofing and a seamless handoff. Each design is meticulously reviewed, refined, and properly labeled. Consistent communication with product owners and developers is maintained throughout the project to ensure a smooth and efficient file transition.
When I'm not at my workstation, I'm usually engaged in quality time with my cherished wife and child - planning an elaborate three-course supper at home, embarking on our alfresco adventure, or devising the next wacky concoction of coffee and cocktail.
