Ever since I was in middle school I wanted to be a scientist. I have always loved observing the environment around me; identifying behaviors and traits, and formulating hypotheses as to why things were the way they were. My passion for science grew even deeper during my time in college as I learned how to do proper research techniques and how to become an even more effective observer and investigator.I have been a product designer on many unique teams and projects, employing my experience with research-based methodologies to drive the creation of software solutions which wholly support the end-user requirements as well as support the stakeholder vision. I have performed user observations and interviews on these projects in the pursuit of generating personas, user story maps, and archetypes in order to identify key pain points and root problem causes. Over the course of these projects I have utilized several different tools to create low and high fidelity mockups and wireframes. Learning about user experience design and human-computer interaction has been the highlight of my career.I have worked on several different teams with diverse compositions of product managers and engineers, and I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of them. I eagerly seek out opportunities to grow as a designer and to further use what I know to help users.
