Transitioning from the product owner side of business operations, I fell in love with the design thinking process and its iterative nature. In my experience as an artist and professional, the discovery of problems rooted in human psychology and interaction were the missing links that my neurons were craving. I find the fusion of purpose and creativity quite fascinating.With a work history rooted in B2B products and business management, I’m passionate about pushing products to the next level through a design process that includes first-hand user research, strategy development, iteration and beautiful user interfaces.Additionally, my years of experience as a designer, photographer, and social media director have helped me understand the problems that usually begin with ambiguous stakeholders. There is usually an unidentified gap between the white board and organizing business objectives. My philosophy is that approaching creative goals with a UX focus can help solidify and produce work that is meaningful, pleasing, and ultimately allows for an enhanced user experience.If you'd like to chat or have a project you'd like to discuss, don't hesitate to contact me: karljsolano@gmail.com.Skills: User Experience Design, User Interface Design, Product Design, User Research, User Flows, Affinity Mapping, Information Architecture, Wireframe Creation, PrototypingCreative Tools: Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Miro, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe PhotoshopBonus: Seven years experience freelancing photography and cinematography.
