I design and enhance user experiences, develop effective user interfaces, and construct sleek and style-driven graphics.
Focused on the design and management side of User Interface and User Experience since 2014. I currently manage a small UI/UX team at a mortgage software company. In this position, I work very closely with Product Management and Architecture teams to create user stories, functional requirements, and UI/UX specification documents for use by the development teams. I have designed responsive web and application UIs for more than 10 years and across a diverse set of industries including Education, Finance, and eCommerce.
I primarily use Axure Pro for clickable prototypes and wire-framing. I have expert knowledge of the Adobe Creative Cloud, including, Photoshop, Illustrator, and XD. In addition, I have a solid understanding of front-end web development and UI design. I am proficient with HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap along with a working knowledge of JavaScript, JQuery, and an understanding of the underlying principles of object-oriented programming and MVC design. I have also worked extensively within Agile, and most recently SAFe, development frameworks and am an advocate of Lean UX
"To design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit; it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify, to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse". – Paul Rand
