Career Booster App
A story about conducting generative research and staying focused on the user's needs. Background: There’s a statistic thrown around pretty often that a woman typically makes 76 cents for every dollar a man makes. The 76 cent statistic comes from raw data - essentially, someone took the median U.S. salary for male employees and compared to the median salary for female employees, and came up with a 24-cent gap.

Design Process
My design process is an iterative process requiring collaboration between multiple teams and your end users. It's easy to get attached to initial design solutions and omit research and testing, but in my experience this rarely works. First solutions are often wrong because in the early stages, it's difficult to know the full scope of the problem you're attempting to solve. It's important to first validate the problem presented to you and discover the root cause.
Deep knowledge of your users, their environments, and their goals is required for great design. Conducting research, talking to users, getting requirements from stakeholders, collaborating with different teams and testing prototypes all help keep a project on track. I believe that successful design projects stem from good communication and keeping the end-user in the forefront.

About Me
|
Asking good questions is one of my strongest skills, reflecting my curiosity, strong critical thinking skills, and interest in human psychology.
My research investigates the people who use products as well as their holistic experience of products. Based on this research, I make suggestions which help design teams create and improve products that meet customer needs. In my spare time, I enjoy pursuing creative outlets such as painting and drawing, photography, making hand-crafted jewelry, and reading sci-fi books.
