In my role as User Experience Designer at Career Cruising I implemented the use of comprehensive heuristic analysis of existing product information architecture and navigation flows to familiarize stakeholders and UX team with the current product’s user experience issues. I also crafted high level contextual scenarios that described the product requirements from user’s perspective. This enabled the mapping of low level work flows detailing the sequence of steps the user would take to accomplish their goals. The resulting UX documentation enabled project decision makers to determine the scope, budget and time lines for the project’s desired future state.

While a member of Cundari’s digital studio, I led the user experience design of the online shopping cart for their client Tilley. I introduced the concept of rapid prototypes to help the team meet the project’s multiple requirements within the constraints of a narrow time line. The project was dependant on an existing prototyping framework that focused on front-end development. I replaced it with a rapid prototyping framework that put the UX designer in charge of conceiving, experimenting with and communicating UX. That way Cundari was able reduce the time between requirement changes and design iterations that, ultimately, led to the project being delivered on time.

As a interactive designer with Grip's digital studio team, I engaged in multiple large scale projects including a full website re-design for both the Women's Executive Network and Honda Canada.To ensure the successful deployment of the Honda website redesign, I headed the introduction of a new agency-wide digital asset management strategy. The generation of new thinking about asset work flows was required; from early asset acquisition to final distribution. I led the creation of essential UX documentation such as task flows, user scenarios, content strategy and information architecture. Additionally, I spearheaded recommendations for features and functionality to the software development team.For the Women's Executive Network, I worked closely with the Agile development team to redesign the website's shopping cart user experience and interface design. The project required a careful adherence to complex product requirements and multiple user task flows to navigate numerous conversion funnels. This focus ensured that the new UX/UI succeed in increasing user conversation rates.
