If we want users to like our software, we should design it to behave like a likeable person: respectful, generous and helpful.

Why is UX so important?

User Acquisition

User Acquisition

The purpose of UX Design is to help users to do what they want/need to do — UX guides them leading to business success. Users are provided a way to a faster, successful solution leading to greater productivity via:

User Acquisition

If a product’s design is intuitive and a delight to use, users will want to use it. And if it’s not? Even the most useful and functional product can provide a poor user experience if it’s a total bore, or the user has no incentive to use it. 

User Engagement

User Acquisition

User Engagement

If a product doesn’t provide some sort of value in a user's life, chances are they won’t use it for long. Does it simultaneously help achieve user and business goals? Whatever the benchmark is, a product should add value to users - this value will keep them engaged.

UX Auditing & Assessment

UX design audits allow organizations to evaluate a product or website to identify opportunity for improvement in continuity, consistency, accessibility, and usability issues - ultimately driving your users to reach your organization's goals.

Whether you need just a landing page, a marketing website, or a full on web or mobile app (or both), I can design it for you from start to finish or make improvements on your existing website.

My Approach

Keep It Simple

Keep It Simple

Keep It Simple

Simplicity is hard work, but it pays off with huge rewards. Keep it as simple and intuitive as possible and find unique, unexpected solutions for your problems. The best interface is one users don't notice.

Research

Keep It Simple

Keep It Simple

First understand an organization's business model then understand its users. What are the pain points users have and how can you solve them, while pushing company’s business goals.

Comparative & Competitive Analysis

Comparative & Competitive Analysis

Comparative & Competitive Analysis

Benchmarking is a must for every product or project as it helps quantifying best practices and getting inspired. What are competitors doing well and not so well? We're not copying, we're looking for advantages to execute even more successfully.

Think Holistically

Comparative & Competitive Analysis

Comparative & Competitive Analysis

Design a foundation that can naturally grow and change while keeping the brand in mind to guarantee consistency and an easy design handoff to development teams.

If I had an hour to solve a problem, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem.

I act as a thought partner regardless of engagement level.

Not all projects need a complete redo - perhaps guidance on improvement is enough. Offering a point-of-view and insight is possible with a brief understanding of project needs and constraints. Guidance is readily available to suit and business or development constraints.

Partnering to get thorough understanding of requirements and needs, a greater understanding and analysis can provide additional depth of concepts, deliverables, & prototypes diving deeper than a "Fast Track".
