Hello, We should work together.

I bring extensive experience in UI/UX design and software development. I specialize in data driven interface designs for a variety of user-friendly web, kiosk, and mobile applications, with a strong focus on responsive design and user representation.

My expertise includes crafting intuitive user experiences, developing data collection tools, and building seamless interfaces across platforms. Market research is essential for reducing business risk, understanding customer needs, and gaining a competitive advantage. It provides a data-driven foundation to make informed decisions about product development, pricing, and marketing strategy, ensuring resources are used efficiently to maximize returns. I’m proficient in UI implementation working with teams using Agile methods, task lists, and milestones to manage both individual and team workflows. I can work with engineers/developers, to transform designs into fully functional, user-friendly experiences. With the rise of mobile technology, I’ve focused on creating unified, responsive experiences that work smoothly across devices—from desktops to smartphones—using a single, adaptable codebase whenever possible.

As a UX designer, I can code or understand HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Please see my My Curriculum Vitae / Resume

Fluid

This site depicts an attempt to realize a web design approach of Responsive Design. It is aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experiences—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices -- from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones. I used to develop executable code and UI for both PC and Mac; and with one code setup. Now again with newer devices, having one code set and set of design elements across a wide range of devices -- or as much as possible!

Strengths

As trends in UI and UX expand to work with new-er devices, my design and technical approaches change as well. Every 2-3 years, I am expanding my skillset to work with

  • JavaScript for motion graphics,
  • Programming and design for mobile and web,
  • Additional devices,
  • Responsive and reactive design,
  • etc.

Projects

Have at look at these Select Projects.

Site_Tech

JavaScript is the selected technology in use for motion graphics on this site. While I have been using Flash for motion graphics in web pages and banners, JavaScript and many 3rd party libraries and plug-ins work very well to accomplish some very nice effects, animation and transitions. I also used jQuery and the very lovely Isotope plug-ins are used on this site. I use JavaScript to create animations within banners as well as pages. Sadly, my reliance on Flash is done. It was a great technology that just has plain bad memory management.

About Me

Enterprise-level, Clouded-Based Product Manager

Optimizing user engagement for brands such as ESPN, Comcast, Verizon Labs, Fidelity and GE. Expert in providing a compelling user experience to improve brand loyalty, customer retention and site visits.

I trained in the art and science of application development with User Centered Design methods. I credit intensive math classes and working with highly experienced senior programmers to help me solve some of the weirder issues I have come across in development. I also credit Architecture classes and practice to focus interests in design and project planning. UI/UX attracted me to software and hardware application development. Programming was an entree to software design. My natural aptitude for design aesthetics dovetails well with the application projects I have developed. I have worked with many kinds of startups as well as larger corporate initiatives in the industries of healthcare, education, finance and sports.

My projects achieve increased user adoption, reduced user errors and training requirements. I identify and define requirements earlier and reduce development costs.

As always, I look forward to new possibilities in future information systems for product development, marketing, sales and entertainment. Please see my My Curriculum Vitae / Resume

LUCKY

I feel lucky in this life, that I have able to have a job I don't ever consider work.

I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.” ― Steve Jobs

To be invited to join a group effort to develop something that had not previously existed has been the best part of life. And I hope to continue, please send invitations.
