Artificial intelligence meets surveys to better understand consumer feedback. • Work with the client in product development of artificial intelligence software that gets consumers engaged in business assets. • Formulate in-depth competitive analysis to compare and contrast different layouts and features to better understand surveys that exist currently• Creation of cognitive task analysis to show wait times in a variety of different businesses for the implementation of engaging surveys where consumers can give feedback.

UX/UI consulting work throughout the Austin area. Also, become interested in educational augmented reality technology so began experimenting with different types of heutagogies (The study of self-directed Learning) including building an augmented reality environments that starts with the learner's introspection first, then creating/organizing engaging material for self-development.To be able to just develop dynamic 3D representations of educational material is only one small piece of the puzzle. I think it is vital to understanding what can be changed or updated to meet the new wave of technology that is being developed for educational purposes and beyond.• High-Fidelity Wireframes, Site Maps, Task Models, User Journey• Formulate in-depth competitive analysis to compare and contrast different layouts and features to better understand how a particle interface may need to change.• Creation of cognitive task analysis to show wait times in a variety of different businesses for the implementation of engaging surveys where consumers can give feedback.• Understanding the dynamic between student-teacher relationships existing behind an LMS Interface• Information Architecture, Usability Testing A/B• Finding different UX methodologies that can apply to human-centric design for students and teachers• Visual Design, Style Guides, Scenarios & Storyboarding• Understanding the dynamic between student-teacher relationships existing behind an LMS Interface• Closing the gap between public- ed systems and Edtech startups.• UX Research-Based Design - UX Research: Best Practices from - IDF• Making educational technology human-readable.• Lead design workshops that include internal and external stakeholders• Cognitive Task Analysis Diagraming
