Experienced with in-depth competitive research, aiding stakeholders to determine what their project goals are, and building out very detailed lists of use scenarios, task flows, site maps, navigation mechanisms, content inventories, wireframes and prototypes. I have experience conducting usability testing sessions, as well as user surveys such as card sort testing and A/B testing.
Academically trained in all visual design standards and practices for both printed and screen based mediums. I possess vast experience in using visual design to grab the user's attention and then guide the eye along the desired visual flow using the principles of successful typography, color theory, Gestalt’s principles, contrast, and overall composition.
Front-end development is a passion of mine. I find the continually changing and challenging nature of development highly rewarding. I possess expert level skills in core web languages—HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and a base knowledge in server-side scripting languages and technologies and an understanding of how they work along side the client-side languages.
