UX and Visual Designer
I'm a UX and visual designer who wears many hats. I actually do have a rather big hat collection, but we can save that conversation for another day. I have a passion for digital design, music, art, and building things in the analog world. My design career started out in the print world, but with the rapid change in industry standards, I got into the digital world where I wanted and needed to be. There was certainly a learning curve when it came to front-end development though and I'm glad I have those chops to understand more about websites and ultimately user experiences. Today I'm involved in the UX process as a whole rather than just a visual and front end. I really enjoy seeing products come to life from research, user feedback, wire-framing, design, and prototyping. Launch can be a real nail-biter, but in the end, rewarding because now your users can validate a good percentage of your work. The key for me is knowing that something works for the user in the end and feedback is always appreciated.
