MY PROCESS
Step 1
Discover
The first part of the journey begins with the client. It is of utmost importance for me to fully understand their business goals, needs and beliefs. The brand defines the business and I apply that brand throughout my design.
Step 2
Research & Synthesis
Conducting research is one of my favorite portions of the process. I draft questions that are designed to locate and define problems of the users. Synthesizing the data from my research can be the most fun. Not all problems are spelled out in direct responses but rather in subtle comments or body language.
Step 3
Design
In the early stages of design it is important to create as many possible solutions in the quickest amount of time. Paper sketching and white-boarding are extremely efficient at expressing ideas in a matter of minutes.
Step 4
Paper Prototyping
I take the best of the paper sketches and turn them into paper prototypes for testing. I then perform usability tests to locate any struggles or pain points associated with the rough design. Once completed, the paper prototypes provide much needed insight that I turn into wire-frames.
Step 5
Wire-framing
Wire-frames are digital mock-ups of the paper prototypes. Most of the digital designs are created through tools such as Axure RP or Sketch & InVision. Completed wire-frames are then turned into clickable prototypes for more tests.
Step 6
Usability Testing
Usability tests are performed on the digital wire-frames. Any insight gained from these tests help me to perfect the finalized design.
Step 7
Delivery
Once I feel the design is complete I give it one last review to ensure that every piece is in its proper place; before presenting the finished product to the client I compare my design to the original brief and company objectives to make sure it aligns with the client's goals.

About ME
My Story
I am a UX Designer with a passion for problem solving. Understanding clients from an empathetic viewpoint enables me to fully understand their needs and struggles. The moment a problem shows itself, I take true joy in solving it. My brain scan looks like the Griswald house at Christmas when I am coming up with solutions.
The design needs to be fluid and representative of the brand while seamlessly addressing the demands of the users. Creating that perfectly balanced blend of function and beauty is where I focus my efforts and ingenuity. The right design is one that no one can pin-point, but just works.
When I'm not trying to solve the problems of the world you can find me in the kitchen with a mixing bowl in my hands. Baking is a lifelong passion that was instilled in me by both my Grandmother and Mother. Recipes can be terribly boring and I find myself constantly experimenting and trying to enhance the flavor profiles and textures of all my baked goods. I can even say that 90% of the time I'm right.
