Learn - Build – Measure.

I have a very fluid design process. I try to approach each project uniquely and take into account the company's culture and limitations, as well as where they level on the Design Maturity Model regarding their perception of how design resources should be utilized. I am for the user, but I am for the stakeholder as well. My hope is to provide the best solution for the project and the process. Some methods I have used in my design process have included competitive / market analysis, creative brainstorming, building requirements in partnership with product, UX strategy, user research and testing, wireframing and UX concepting, UI / visual design, creating clickable prototypes, engineering hand-off, visual QA, mind mapping, building personas, and storyboarding (not necessarily in that order).

At the end of the day, I am here to help solve design problems.

What flavor of UX designer am I?

Solving design problems through brand strategy and prototyping is my strength.

When the point of contact between the product and the people becomes a point of friction, then the designer has failed. On the other hand, if people are made safer, more comfortable, more eager to purchase, more efficient—or just plain happier—by contact with the product, then the designer has succeeded. - Henry Dreyfuss

I believe the same is true within the culture that produces the product, but substitute 'designer' with a general 'we'.
