    As a Writer and UX Designer, I push conceptual boundaries that address user needs and transform them into unmatched experiences that are relevant and intuitive. I breathe purpose into products and articles that delight people from all walks of life. For writing: I will be your content writer for one-off blogs or for your brand as a whole. 
 Being that I am a UX Researcher and Designer, I am well-versed in researching topics and synthesizing data before conjuring up a cohesive writing piece. I write on everything; Music, Food and Beverage, Beauty and Fashion, Dating and Relationships, Design, Social Media, and Fitness and Travel, and beyond. 
 Give me a topic and I will create a well-ordered and articulate draft for you to look over before a revision is made. I charge per article but will gladly work out a deal if you decide you'd like to work together on future projects. For design: I will be your UX and/or UI designer for one-off projects or for your brand as a whole. My goal is to maintain a harmonious balance of business priorities while bringing the voice of the user to the fore. I meticulously interpret data and user behavior analytics to provide tasteful suggestions for improvements in both product design and internal processes. 
 Looking forward to connecting and creating magic to help you and contribute to the success of your business!

    Hello Upwork! I'm a UX/UI Designer based in San Diego, CA. I’m passionate about creating user-friendly Apps, websites, and systems for businesses. I take a top-down UX approach when building custom Mobile & Web apps (adhering to good UX/UI Design processes & principles). The initial love for design all started over 20 years ago when I build a website for my dad’s business. Little did I know at the time it would be my lifelong passion. Through my years, I’ve worked on with many different clients, businesses, and projects to help them meet their business or product goals. Each new day being a new opportunity to create something bigger & better! If you’re passionate about pixel-perfect design, and clean & contemporary design… I’m your guy. I've spent several years in the Agency setting, and am prefer the autonomy working with new startup ideas and creating new Product Designs. Right now, I’m available for up to 20-25 hours of work per week. I can work hand-and-hand with Project Stakeholders and Project Managers to deliver creatives in a timely fashion, with attention to detail. I feel the key to a successful & effective design project starts with understanding the audience, and building empathy with the user. Who are they (demographics)? What are their problems, issues, and pain points? By identifying this, it will help establish your message. This message should align with your Goals & Missions as an individual, company, or business. I also use heuristics to improve conversion rates. This is all part of the process, and I’m here to help bring it to life! As a designer, I bring these elements into your design & layout, and help build a connection with your audience from the beginning! Having a foundation, and doing the research ahead of time is critical. Availability? (My Hours)... I’m west-coast based, but have a lot of clients through the US. If you have a project or idea you’re looking to create, we can come up with something special together… I love partnering with businesses & individuals who are trying to take it to the next level. So.. what types of projects am I interested in? I’m glad you asked :) 1). Web Design — working with clients to design high-caliber custom web designs that fit your brand, feel, and identity. Allowing your business to build trust and less frustration to the end-user. Presentation is everything, and so is smart design thinking. 1). Product Design — working with startups to offer consulting for Mobile & Desktop Web Apps. This includes building mock-ups, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs for Web & Mobile applications. The whole UX process. 3). SaaS-based UX/UI Interface Design — making clean, and user-friendly interfaces for any type of Web Applications (think of mint.com, Zoho CRM, Invoicing software, or task management CRMs). I can share some high-fidelity designs I’ve worked on so you can get a feel for the quality of work. All of these I’m willing to share with you the design files, or schedule a video call to show you (some other UX guys will copy from templates…. You can never be 100% trustworthy in this day in age it seems). If I sent you a proposal, then it’s my way of saying “I can make a difference for you, your life, and what you’re up to.” What are you waiting for? Let’s create amazing…. together! -Payton J.

    Hey, I'm Mark! Over the past 13 years I've worked my way up from designing business cards and flyers for mom and pop shops to leading UI/UX designs and creative direction on some of the most complex projects in the startup and Fortune 500. If a product sucks to use, I can and will fix it. Delivering higher engagement times, happier users, and most importantly - revenue improvements. I'm a big believer in the fact that simple design does not have to be plain. Some of the products and projects I have had a hand in over the years: EDUBRITE: Sole UI/UX architect on a learning platform that served hundreds of thousands of users across the world. I designed product solutions for companies spanning the Fortune 500 space, including Apple, VMWare, Salesforce and more. Royal Caribbean: Photographer and content creator in launching the world's largest cruise ship (Symphony of the Seas). What started as a side hobby in photography turned into opportunities with some of the largest brands in the world to capture moments that told full stories with just one image. Heartbeat.co: I was the first creative resource to be brought on to this growing company at the dawn of the influencer age. My job was to work with brands such as Netflix, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ebay and more to create engaging and sometimes complex materials that served as guides for influencers around the world to create content for these brands. Data drove our design decisions each step of the way and in the end we created a system that continues to serve hundreds of the world's biggest brands. Humbl: In 2017 after watching my mom work in hotels as a housekeeper into her older years and come home with fewer tips each day due to the lack of cash-carrying travelers, it was time to put my life savings on the line to create a solution. I came up with a system that allowed hotel and hospitality companies to essentially give their staff raises without any out-of-pocket costs. The solution was an app that used QR codes and Braintree to link up any and every digital payment system in the world to tip anyone, anywhere. No more employees using their personal paypal or cash apps. After a sales team at Block 30 Labs signed up 70+ resorts and wineries in the San Diego area (including Pala casino) Brian Foote (Founder Block 30) made a cash offer where I kept some ownership in the company with the promise they would continue to sign up and expand the product. Eventually HUMBL pivoted away from the product to pursue other interests. There remains a huge opportunity for a digital tipping app.

    I have the perfect mix of creativity, logic and passion for Graphic Design, Web Design or User Experience (UX) projects. I’m a highly motivated, freelance, UX/UI designer, graphic designer and front-end web developer, and I have great problem solving skills. I strive to excellence and I am very detail oriented. I am equally comfortable in the web environment (UX/UI, standards compliant, responsive web design and front-end developing) and in the print environment. I am comfortable with most software and I am a very fast learner. In my past work experiences, I had the chance to actively participate in any stage of the design process, both in a print and web environment, from initial concept to completion, including photography art direction, final pre-press, print supervision and final uploading. I am passionate about teaching, and I have been a part-time faculty member for the past 15 years: this allowed me to refine my communication and leadership skills. I also learned to interact and collaborate productively with a large variety of personalities and ages. I love to share my knowledge. My current position helps me stay current with technologies and trends. I am self-motivated but work very well in a team environment.
