About me
In a nutshell, I'm a UX designer and web developer with over 10 years working with both industry and government. If you want the backstory - I've always been the person people can come to when they need help creating something. I started out as an instructional designer working for FIVE GUYS (yes, the burger place) and eventually found my way into working in UX design and web development.
My Design Approach
Research
Good designers don't talk much, they ask questions and listen. You'll see me asking a lot of questions so I can understand what the real need is.
Design
Rather than jumping straight to code, let's just draw a picture first to make sure we're on the same page.
Build
This is where I put it all together - either writing the code myself or creating stories and working with an engineering team.
aaaaand repeat
Now let's watch what happens. Let's monitor user behavior and see how we can continue to improve. This can kick off another design cycle.
