There are some things that can and can't be shared, but I've worked on large data deliveries, complex applications and complete project lifecycles individually and while leading a team.
I started out over 20 years ago doing front end web development. It was a perfect way to create and organize at the time. After almost 2 decades, I was starting to be more cognizant about who would be using what I was creating. I started to ask more questions and apply those answers to my layouts.
In 2014 I took my first UX role and the rest is history. I've been slowly expanding my skills and approach from technical to user centered. In the past 6 years at Likewize, I've gone from one of the only ones with UX in the in their title to managing a global team of UX designers and UI developers.
My unique skills and experiences
Delivery of large consumable data - In more than half of the companies I've worked for, I've needed to display a large amount of data for a user to consume with ease.
Application focus design - While I've only worked on applications (and some could see that as a delimitating factor) I look at it as an advantage. I have seen many iterations of applications and user responses.
My values
Partnership - I'm here for you and will work hard so I can earn your trust and build relationships. I want to build strong relationships so the collaboration and exchange of thoughts never ends.
Passion - I legitimately still get excited when I see something new and amazing. I love getting ideas from innovation, other designers and things out in the world/nature.
Empathy - First and foremost, we're all human. We'll work together to build understanding about our differences and what makes us unique. We'll create a culture of inclusion and respect.
Family :: Art :: Cars
I spend most of my free time with my family. They keep me laughing, engaged and generally rounded out.
When I'm not with them, I love to draw and paint. I participate in Inktober every year as a way to challenge myself and keep creative. I share this on my instagram.
I love all cars, but gravitate to European and Japanese. While I don't really wrench on cars like I did when I was a kid, I don't shy away from basic tasks. It can be real therapeutic most of the time, there are times when it's definitely not.
