UX portfolio
This portfolio provides a high-level view of how I operate as a user-centered design professional. It covers a wide range of my responsibilities (UX design, product design, research, strategy, etc.), a wealth of techniques and methods I have applied (e.g., usability and heuristics, information architecture, UX research, interaction design, and interface design), and a breadth of business types and form factors that I’ve worked with and designed for (Fortune 500, SaaS, E-commerce, desktop, mobile, interactive TV, workstation ergonomics, etc.).
I hope you’re able to find examples that match your organization’s UX design, product design, and/or research needs. Please reach out if you have any questions.
