Deborah Lyons Email & Phone Number

Deborah Lyons is a Director Of User Experience at The Permanente Medical Group. They is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe them as "Deb and I worked together extensively on interactive designs during the early days of our company's extension into web technologies. When I was given the responsibility to build our service line one of the first things I did was to establish the need for a creative director who really understood the challenges of design on the web for both static HTML and dynamic applications. Deb was my immediate first choice to fill the position - a decision drawn from years of working with her in a more general and traditional design capacity. Deb is a fantastic resource for any company. She has an intuitive sense of good design and a work ethic that ensures that she's always striving to produce her best work. She understands not only the aesthetic aspects of design, but also the functional aspects. Her work has to do more than look good -- it has to WORK, and she knows that fact and how to accomplish it. In design the best resources are those who understand the underlying principles of solving interface challenges. She gets it. Deb is also that rare treasure of a professional who takes the personal initiative to pursue new ideas and perspectives to make herself a better designer - classes, books, etc.. Beyond her design skills, she has an extremely practical frame of mind that helps to make sure that things get done and done right and a talented touch for working with others to produce truly great work. I'd recommend her as an excellent hire to anyone who is considering her - for her design skills, her practical knowledge of getting things done, and her ability to mentor and extend those skills to the rest of your team."
