USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN

User Experience (or UX) design has become the new _”it”_ field for up-and-coming designers and digital marketers, but I feel like there is a lot of confusion and differentiation between what people define as being UX. For me, UX fundamentally means being the voice of the end customer during all phases of the project build. Understanding User Experience is about understanding a process and how it applies to your project and the software or app you are building.  

That process always begins with understanding your users. That can be done through surveys, interviews, testing, competitive research and/or market analysis – and using that information to build your personas and their jobs-to-be-done. Understanding the complete user journey helps develop an information architecture that fits with that journey and drives conversions – while utilizing common industry design patterns or analogous use-cases to make the digital product seamless and intuitive for the end-users.

On working with me as a UX/UI Designer:

He is such a pleasure to work with, his relaxed and pleasant manner is often punctuated by his hilarious candor. He is a beast at crafting high quality designs and illustrations. He also utilizes a well thought out and disciplined process that I personally will continue to emulate. Any company lucky to receive him will be getting a highly motivated, high quality designer, with the best down-to-earth personality that helps him relate to his coworkers and his clients. His ability to discern client needs and his immense can-do positivity is what makes him one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
