What I Do

UX Research

Understanding the humans who use the things we create isa critical part of the work we do as UX professionals. I believe in conducting research in whatever way is possible. Some of (but not limited to) the methods I use to conduct research are contextual inquiry, surveys, moderated user tests, unmoderated user tests, and direct interviews.

Information Architecture

The way we organize information goes well beyond menus. In order for our experiences to be as effective as possible, it's important to consider the way information is typed and categorized. Well-structured information that meets the needs of the user is a joy to interact with, and that delivers better business results.

Project Management

On time and under budget. That's the adage project managers have lived by for so long. But, there's more to project management - there is a human element that is critical. I believe in making honest commitments about what I can deliver, and when. And, I believe in helping to keep the pace of delivery while being considerate of my team, my stakeholders, as well as being transparent with my leadership.

UX Architecture

Systems thinking is an important skill in UX, and I have a deep passion for connecting the dots between systems, while taking into account the impact any changes will have on the people who will use them. User experience is not only useful for external users - our partners and stakeholders are customers, too. I leverage systems thinking to help architect well-functioning systems.

UX Design

UX design is about more than pretty pictures - it has to be functional. I believe that aesthetics are important, but unless a design is truly useful and functional, it is unlikely to be successful.

Serving Leadership

Speaking of leadership, I believe in supporting from the bottom. When I have the privilege of leading, I provide support for my team, trust them to achieve their objectives, and provide them with the air cover they need to ensure they have the space to deliver creative solutions. In my mind, we are all one team. I may be responsible and accountable, but we are all working together as a team to win.
