That’s me!
I care deeply about the Why of everything and making sure we’re doing the right things for the right reasons.
I’ve been a Product Designer and User Researcher for over a decade. I’ve implemented cross-functional design processes and introduced new research techniques, created interfaces and experiences, understood people and conjured personas, adventured along journey maps, developed designers, and spoken to hundreds of users about who they are and what matters to them.
Things I do
- Bring people together to understand other humans
- Developing design and research processes
- Advocate for the voice of the user and the value of Design and User Research
- Make high-fidelity prototypes with deep interactions at super speeds.
- Listen, Listen, Listen… learn… then share it
- Follow the ODI framework and Jobs to be done theory
- Facilitate design sprints and workshops
- Create Personas, Storymaps, and Journey maps
- Write detailed requirements
- Mentor on Springboard’s UX/UI career track
- I’ve been a (certified) Scrum Master too!
Tools I know well
- Prototyping and Design tools: Axure RP / Sketch / Illustrator
- Collaboration & Management: Miro / Trello / YouTrack / Jira
- Research and Testing: Lookback / Alchemer / Tremendous
- Things I know a little: Figma, HTML, CSS, Adobe Photoshop
- Music Software: Cubase, Reaper, Reason, Ableton, Izotope Suite
- The usual suspects: Microsoft 365 Suite
Outside of design
