I'm Uber passionate about creating useful, usable, and desirable interfaces! Useful in the sense that they are efficient, task-focused, and goal-driven; usable in the sense that they are intuitive and easy to use; and desirable in the sense that they win hearts and minds.Currently, I'm working as a web developer / designer and user experience consultant creating and maintaining consumer facing desktop and responsive interfaces.I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology, focused my graduate studies within the Applied Cognitive Psychology program, and was an active member of Dr Camille Peres’ Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research laboratory on the University of Houston – Clear Lake (UHCL) campus. There I was extensively involved as a user researcher in multiple research projects involving: recruiting of subjects, creating user personas/profiles, creating testing protocols, survey construction, wireframe design and construction, usability testing data collection, usability testing data analysis, and presenting departmental reports to stakeholders.I have 10+ years of experience working in designing and launching consumer facing websites, a strong working knowledge of B2B & B2C design & development; HTML, CSS, PHP, bootstrap, responsive design; CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla); MySQL databases, Adobe Photoshop CC; 4+ years conducting usability research on web-based applications. Additionally, I have 4 years working with Axure and Balsamiq wireframing/prototyping software, and 8 years working with Adobe Creative Suite. I am confident in my ability to handle multiple concurrent tasks, in my knowledge of web user interface design best practices and logic as applied to web applications, and in my knowledge of Human Computer Interaction concepts as it applies to the user experience.
