My Process

Research

I ask questions. Lots of them. I conduct internal interviews to understand your product, service, and organization. I also talk to your users and customers. The best way to find out what people need and how they’re interacting with your brand is to go straight to the source.


Design

I create the necessary artifacts with the necessary tools for the ultimate deliverable of a better user experience. Some of those artifacts might be site maps, userflows, wireframes, and prototypes created with anything from pen & paper to HTML/CSS/JS.


Evaluation

Embracing the idea that the design is a hypothesis, it will have to be tested. I’ll test before to set a baseline and I’ll test after to evaluate the changes. By working iteratively, I’ll fold the findings back into the research and adjust the design as needed.
