Allow me to introduce myself
Research & Empathy
Understanding the people I'm designing for is essential. Using research tools and data to move past my own assumptions allows me to uncover the story I am here to tell, and maximize results.
User Experience Design
Understanding people and applying design theory allows me to properly interpret the way we perceive everything around us. This knowledge is the foundation of all my designs and processes.
Service Design & IA
Design is more than just the product itself. Using Service Design methodologies allows me to see the experience beyond the product to fine tune how people use things in the real world.
Writing & Communication
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but good copy is essential to creating a well rounded design. I believe communication skills are essential throughout the entire design process from ideation to final release.
Usability Testing
This is the most rewarding part of the process which is filled with connections and feedback. I wholeheartedly believe in the human-centred approach and gathering real time feedback from the people I design for.
UI & Interaction Design
Designing a timelessly appealing exterior adds an additional level of joy. I'm passionate about aesthetically presenting structures in a way that enhances the interactive experience.
