    I am a UX Researcher & UX Design expert who performs user studies, synthesizes data, creates deliverables, and presents an analysis of optimal solutions. I have excellent communication and collaboration skills. I work extensively with B2B clients to solve their problems with SaaS, AI, and data analytics for enterprise web applications, features, and dashboards. My UX Research & Design strengths and experience include: • UX Strategy: Brainstorming, ideation workshops, • UX Research: Qualitative and quantitative studies, user interviews, moderated and unmoderated user testing • UX Analysis: Heuristics, audits, behavioral analysis, and competitive analysis • UX Deliverables: Personas, user flows, journey maps, • UX Design: Information architecture, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and clickable prototypes • UX Tools: Figma, Optimal Workshop, Miro, Adobe Suite • Experience working in sprints with agile teams • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills • Platforms: Enterprise SaaS web & mobile apps, tools & dashboards • Industry Experience: Healthcare, Financial & Law Firms, Government & Industrial Equipment Industries Three of my latest UX research, strategy and design projects: In December 2022, I completed a six-week UX strategy, audit, and research project for Fluke Corp, where I was tasked with understanding, reviewing, and creating ecosystem maps and research-based strategy documents for a new thermal imaging camera product. My goal was to advise and help the UX and product teams within Fluke Manufacturing design a smooth digital customer experience so they can remain competitive in the constantly evolving world of B2B sales. Overall, my directive was to understand the current thermal imaging camera product workflows, provide an analysis based on user research, and create a UX strategy and UX deliverables. In 2023, I completed a 6-week UX Research project for the VA Health website, where I ran a moderated tree test for the va.gov website. Our goal was to help modernize the digital health experience for the most extensive healthcare system in the nation. I conducted ethnographic research and user interviews and used Optimal Workshop to capture user data on the tree test tasks. I analyzed and synthesized observations and distilled the findings into insights and themes. I developed vital opportunity areas based on research insights. I created a PPT deliverable presentation that documented and brought our insights to life in an engaging and inspiring way. For six months in 2022, I worked as the senior product designer and researcher for the Command Center Web Application for Teladoc Health, a prominent online health services provider based in NYC. In this leadership role, I used my systems thinking and UX design skills to solve complex problems involving connecting Doctors with Patients online in real time across the U.S. In the Research Phase, I reviewed Dr/Patient interactions in real-time to gauge the effectiveness of the current baseline application. Using data from our study, we were able to brainstorm new feature and functionality ideas to provide better experiences overall.

    Hi, I'm Colin (colinsygiel.com) I am a big advocate of users, design, words, and piecing it all together to create unforgettable user experiences. 𝐌𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞, 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 - whether that's at the seed level, series A, or beyond. As a UI/UX designer, I know that the user experience is key to success. That's why I take a user-centered approach to design, starting with research and testing to ensure that every aspect of the product is optimized for the user experience. My goal is to create a seamless and intuitive experience that keeps users coming back for more. I specialize in working with startups and have experience across a wide range of industries. I understand the unique challenges that startups face and I'm always up for a new challenge. Whether you're looking to build a brand-new product from scratch or improve an existing one, I can help you create a design that resonates with your target audience. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫? ✔ 𝐈'𝐦 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. I believe that design should always be user-centered, and that every design decision should be based on the needs of the end-user. ✔ 𝐈'𝐦 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦-𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫. I thrive on challenges and love nothing more than finding creative solutions to complex design problems. ✔ 𝐈'𝐦 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫. I believe that the best design comes from working closely with my clients to understand their needs and goals, and incorporating their feedback into the final product. ✔ 𝐈'𝐦 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭. I believe that less is often more when it comes to design, and I strive to create designs that are both simple and impactful. When I'm not designing, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, surfing, and learning how to up my game in the kitchen.
