UI/UX Designer, Musician, Human
I combine design, technology and user research into a unified discipline powerful enough to propel companies forward.
Skills to Pay the Bills
UI/UX Designer
The UX design process: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. Those are the steps that take something good and make it great. In the end it’s all about the user and that’s what fascinates me the most. Why do people do what they do? What are their pain points? Can I help alleviate them through well thought out UI?
Development
I’m not a full-on developer but I know enough to be dangerous! I love to lurk in the CSS/SCSS and make sure the code implementation matches the design vision set forth in the prototypes and mock-ups. I love when a developer hands me theist component and says “Make it look nice”. Teamwork makes the dream work!
UX Research
User research is where I get down to the nitty gritty of who, what, when, where, why, and how. Learn the user, understand what makes them tick. Full understanding of your user is like a cheat sheet on how to make an application or website wow the user and keep them coming back for more!!
Film & Photography
There is something so calming about being behind the lens of a camera. I love taking photos while out and about and also filming for my YouTube channel Restore This!
