About me banner
Philosophy

My strengths are uncover user and stakeholder needs and create experiences that assist in meeting these needs. I follow an agile process that begins with listening to all users and stakeholders as each project is unique and requires a different approach. Then I apply user research and design best practices to ensure the project stays on track while meeting user and stakeholder needs.

How I Work

Over the years I have had experiences working collaboratively on projects in communications, education, healthcare, job seeking software, and human resources. It has been during these experience that I have learned that each project is as unique as its users, and requires various research and design techniques in addition to conducting user focus groups, usability testing, and rapid prototyping all with keeping the users and stakeholders in mind.
