Overview
I am an experienced leader who believes design is a public service. I create wireframes, templates and visual designs that follow best practices for user experience and accessibility of websites and apps. I analyze problems, identify user research questions, write research plans, and conduct evaluative usability studies to ensure that user requirements inform digital strategy. I easily collaborate with cross-functional teams of designers, technologists and project managers, and I facilitate workshops using design thinking methods. I demonstrate effective communication skills. To find out more, view my résumé.
