I’m a proven user experience designer working with numerous operating systems and development environments for desktop and web.  I thrive on taking ideas from thoughts to forward thinking concepts that exceed the user’s expectations.  I specialize in visualizing large or small scale applications - translating requirements, user input and technical specifications into a cohesive design then working closely with developers to implement it.

 

I’m adept at working in or leading design teams and creative groups including CEOs, PMs, Designers, Developers, QA and Users. I provide the bridge between stakeholders that enables all parties to be heard, seen and meld together to create truly innovative solutions.

 

I’m an expert in Agile UX. It’s an art to create a long term design vision, manage the changing course and enhance the design on an incremental basis. I have extensive experience with software release cycles and working UX into the process. Iteration and constant user feedback are the keys to long term success.
