Fortunately as a product designer, I'm also a product user. I'm using my phone just as much as the next consumer, so not only through user-research and observation, I have my own intimate relationship with the hardware and software we commonly use. I see what works and doesn't work in my own experience which provides added consideration in my own application designs and context to the direction I give other designers. My objective as UI/UX Design Practice lead was to elevate the design and use of all the products we had the opportunity to build. On every endeavor, I charged my team with first, research and discovery of the competitive landscape, but also of what was trending in application design, typography, layout, user-behavior–even color trends. What's exciting about product design are all the questions and considerations involved—your users, your business objectives, how and when customers engage, what they want first, what they want second. The discovery of all those needs is an exciting time—before you build anything. And extremely gratifying if you get it right—if your informed best guess actually proves to be the best solution.• UX+UI Product Design: Independently and with small teams, designed mobile anddesktop product experiences for a wide range of industries—from new product creationand development, to updating and enhancing existing applications.• User Research + Design Sprints: Utilized design sprints, user and analytic research,personas, user journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, user-interviews, business andcompetitive insights, and other tools to develop experiences best suited to both audienceand business outcomes.• Design to Dev Handoffs: Worked closely with in-house and client development teams.Within 2 years was involved in over 10 new product launches.• Team Leadership: Managed 8 member UX consultant team specializing in all facetsof user experience, user research and product design.

Working in a mid-size agency gave me lots of opportunity to touch different media, like television, print and interactive—and connected me to a variety of clients needing different solutions. Instead of being locked into servicing just one account, I would work on 3 or more clients a week. That many brands, tones and needs allowed me to develop dexterity and adaptiveness—I'm practiced in coming up with multiple solutions quickly, and seeing more than one road to accomplish customer goals. Working with other capable creatives also helped me understand that there are many ways to solve a problem, and as a leader, I had the opportunity to help mentor other creatives to develop that skill of solving problems from different angles. • Creative Direction: Oversaw television advertising, digital and print for myriad clients inbanking, beauty, health, insurance, education and technology industries.
