what i do
UX Design
I am an UX professional with an infinite amount of solution power. Solving various problems with the simpliest methosds.
wireframes
Developing a simple wireframe or a highly complex, I have the experience.
prototypes
I have experience in freehand sketches, Sketch, Adobe XD, UXPin, Axure, Balsamic, a few online solutions that allow simple and complex prototyping.
journey map
Maps help you determine your direction, where you start and your end goal. Journey maps help explain all the necessasry steps a user will encounter along the application highway.
User Testing
Testing is a phase I’ve grown to love. Developing and designing in iterations helps bring those key user glitches to the forefront to solidfy overal application functionality and design.
design studio
I’ve participated and lead many design sessions to bring out the best possible solution. It can be fun, but very difficult with participants from the business, designers, developers and potential users get to give their input.
UI Development
I started with basic HTML and CSS almost 20 years ago. Now I develop reusable components and logical functions using JavaScript, PHP and various other templating syntax for .NET and Angular applications.
HTML/CSS
HTML 5 and CSS3 provide some of the cleanest browser interactions.
JavaScript
Besides performing some of the simple functions, I also have experience with Angular, React and NodeJS.
PHP + MySql
PHP is where I started my career, building and developing custom components for CMS and e-commerce platforms. As I learned more I found various way PHP could be used. I have experience with WordPress, Magento, Joomla and LMS apps like Moodle. Laravel is a framework I currently learning.
ADA/508 Compliance
Browser accessibility is important. Structuring web pages using proper syntax makes screenreading much easier.
Web services
Various web services Sendgrid, Hubspot, Paypal, Velocity, Salesforce, WordPress, Square, D3, Data.gov
the perfect process
vision. focus.
Understanding the vision and setting the team focus.
strategize
Analyze the components, stand up the data and develop the architecture for success.
Design
Wireframe, Prototype and map out the flow. Every app flows differently per user. Simplify it.
test
Put it to the test. Take the prototype and give your users a taste.
release
Share with the world. Deployments happen as often as they need to, but with the perfect process you should be clear of the bugs and just release.
