My skills
I have experience in all aspects of product & user experience design. Here is a list of some of my skills:
- user-centered design: user advocacy, trying to always have as much information as the user, understanding new concepts quickly at whatever level is required, knowing what information is needed to ensure a user's experience is tailored to their needs, knowing how to get that information, and how to use it to craft a design
- deliverables: wireframes, high-fidelity mockups and simple prototypes in Sketch, advanced high-fidelity prototypes in Axure, macro and micro interactions, copy editing
- user research: planning, executing, and reporting on any kind of ux research activity
- design ops: project management, advanced spreadsheet magic, designing, implementing, and employing design systems
- product lifecycles: spinning up new products, enhancing existing products, re-imagining legacy products.
- technical knowledge: knowing how software is written, knowing how databases work, knowing how to use code to make things happen, knowing how HTML, CSS, APIs, and Javascript work, knowing what information developers need from UX, knowing how software projects are planned, executed, and released, being able to ramp up on new software quickly with little training
- standards and practices: logical information architecture, properly structured hierarchies, smart consistency, using the right interactions and patterns for the right reasons, never presenting false or misleading information
