With a background spanning web, mobile, and tablet app design, I've honed my skills as both a UX/UI designer and researcher, as well as a UX architect. 🏢 My journey in UX has taken me through various industries, from owning my own business to teaching and even working in the mental health field. This diverse background has instilled in me a deep understanding of the importance of empathy and business value in every design decision I make. 🛍️ I've had the privilege of working with Fortune 100 and 500 companies in the ecommerce space, where I've had a blast ideating fun promotions that not only captivate users but also drive significant engagement. Each promotion I've worked on has attracted millions of users, showcasing the effectiveness of my designs in action. 🔍 My approach to UX is comprehensive and meticulous. From initial research and concept development to wireframing, interface design, interactive prototyping, and sitemapping, I specialize in guiding projects through the entire design lifecycle. Specifically, here's what my design process typically looks like: business research → design review → user research → user journey → information architecture → accessibility & inclusive design → usability & A/B testing → business sign-off → design handover & QA → and analytics 💡 What sets me apart is not just my technical expertise but also my approachability and eagerness to learn. I believe in fostering open communication and collaboration with clients to ensure that their vision is translated into tangible, user-centric designs. And if there's ever a new tool or technique to master, count me in—I thrive on continuous learning and growth! 💬 Let's chat about how I can help bring your digital projects to life while putting your users front and center.
