I am a creative with a specialization in the field of product design. Throughout my twelve-year long career, I have had numerous opportunities to work on designing mobile and web applications, along with visual design projects. My design approach is driven by my desire to keep things simple, while maintaining a focus on creating exceptional user experiences. I possess a strong and unwavering motivation to learn more about users' pain points and to continuously improve product designs. I graduated in 2012 with a degree in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Since then, I have been professionally involved in product design for over nine years.

Strategy

Before diving into the design work, it's important to ensure that I am asking the right questions and tackling the appropriate challenges. This initial step involves conducting research, analyzing the competition, seeking expert advice, and investigating potential solutions.

Design

This phase involves user flows, wireframes, low and high fidelity designs. This process also involves meeting with product owners along the entire design process to insure the direction meets their expectations. At the end of this phase, I do my best to possess a precise design. While moving from the wireframe stage to the final design, I create prototypes that imitate the end product prior to the commencement of development.

Development

As a designer with a basic knowledge in coding, I can effectively work together with engineers during the entire project lifecycle, from inception to completion and even afterward. I prefer to conduct frequent reviews with the engineering team to ensure that the design is being successfully translated into code.
