- Product Design
- User Centered Design
I am a customer-focused Product Designer with a bachelor's degree in information technology and 7 years of experience in the digital product development cycle and pixel/ink-based design processes. I'm interested in creating products that fully address the needs of the customer while also achieving the product vision. Most rewarding is when I maintain a research-driven mindset while focusing on the craft of product creation. I am a designer who is driven to solve problems through design. I believe that the world around us is full of questions that can be answered at any time, from anywhere. I look at the world objectively and holistically in order to frame the appropriate problem. I believe in the statement "everything is connected," and I believe design can be used as a medium for people to connect with one another. Through intentionality, design, and collaboration with others, I sculpt the most solid form of design expression that allows the user to interact, learn, and feel. I want to be a trailblazer who uses an understanding of people's activities, end objectives, products, services, and surroundings to generate innovative and creative design. With the understanding that UX is a multifaceted problem, I want to enhance people's quality of life.
