The Things I Do

I am UX practitioner and User Champion who for more than two decades has been working to help organizations discover, design and develop compelling, effective and user-centric digital solutions in a wide range of industries. I have worked on 'marketing' websites, large-scale content-driven sites, and feature-rich/data-driven web applications for both consumers and internal business stakeholders. I have also designed mobile-adaptive (responsive) websites and apps, as well as native ioS applications. As a 'generalist' my competencies are broad and include discovery, architecture design (IA), wireframing & documentation, user-testing, interaction design, responsive HTML prototyping, UI/graphic design and QA. I am a huge advocate of 'mobile-first' design and Agile UX methodologies, but especially keeping the user embedded in and central to the design process.

RESEARCH

User-testing, field studies, one-on-one interviews, group discovery sessions, surveys, heuristic evaluations, analytics assessments, competitor analysis.
