Senior Digital Product Designer and Educator
UX Design ideas I’m obsessed with
- We should be designing the digital world to be more accessible and welcoming to disabled users than the physical world has been.
- Architecting and designing for contextual/situational use; where, when, and how is the product being used?
- Good design is invisible; it helps users perform tasks painlessly and return to their lives and work quickly.
- Robust interaction design fits into the user's workflow seamlessly and mimics real-world interaction feedback as much as possible.
- Designing digital tools for the first colonists on the Moon and Mars.
♿️ Accessible Design
I prioritize the accessibility of my design work at all times. The digital world should be a place without barriers to give all people full access to all it provides.
🗂️ Design Systems
I have experience advising on organization-wide design systems and building small division-specific design system add-ons.
📲 Interaction Design
Using software, apps, and websites should feel effortless, enabling us to complete the tasks we need to efficiently so that we can get back to our work, friends, family, and activities.
👥 Mentoring
Helping career switchers and emerging professionals achieve their career and learning goals gives me great joy and fulfillment.
My Work
So many sticky notes…
