10 years of UX/UI Design & Research experience as well as hospitality, customer service and executive assistant roles.. Recent job was Senior UX Researcher at FanDuel. As a researcher, I provide full UX expertise from initial research to final deliverables shipment. User research has always been my favorite part of the whole UX Design process and I fully transitioned into a researcher. I worked in various fields such as digital marketing programmatic platform, e-commerce websites, beauty, healthcare, sports betting, professional/social networks, etc. I'm an expert at conducting user research that includes initial evaluation, problem definition, data gathering (use of 3rd party tools and existing data analysis, comparative/competitive analysis), mixed research methods (qual and quant), and providing cohesive reports and presentations with suggested solutions based on the findings. As an executive assistant, I have extensive experience supporting executives and managing complex schedules, communications, and competing priorities in fast-paced environments. My background in executive support and project coordination has taught me how to anticipate needs, communicate effectively, and create structure in busy environments. Linkedin: margaritaux
