My Strengths
My Work
My Philosophy
Context is Everything
This is a common saying in literary analysis that I bring with me from my background in English. Extensive research into the context, problems, needs and behaviours of the target users informs all my UX research and design work.
Focus on Usability
My UX research and design work focuses on identifying core usability issues and improving them for better product performance.
Balance User Needs with Business Goals
My previous experience in a branding consultant startup taught me the importance of aligning clients' business goals with consumer needs, which I bring into my UX research and design work. I believe a product can grow more successfully when it balances user needs and business goals.
