I'm a designer with the ability to wear many hats. Creating has always been my passion. Design combines my love of problem-solving with diverse opportunities for visual exploration. I enjoy experimenting with digital and analogue methods of making and learning about new technology and applications. I find user interaction fascinating and I focus on designing for clear, impactful experiences.
My skills include crafting brands, websites, products, and pretty much anything you can imagine with a strategic experience.
I know how to create products that connects with your users, and target group and we all know that is essential for success.
Whether you need a full website overhaul or a few tweaks and edits, I will be able to handle your web project. I am a web design expert with experience in UI/UX, branding, logo design and more.
Over the years I have grown to understand that business owners need more than just a good looking website. My job is to solve all the web based problems a business comes forward with, and help take away the strife and stress involved in running your business website.
So whether you are a service website or ecommerce website, I have the skills needed to improve your website.
UI (User Interface) focuses on creating the look of the website and designing it from a user's point of view. Being a UI designer not only involves the skills of knowing how to design the website, but also understanding users’ wants and need. During these projects, it is also about creating a balance with how the company wants to be portrayed.
Over the course of many projects, I have strengthened my technical, designing, strategic skills within UI as well as interpersonal.
UX design gets even deeper into the user experience. These skills similarly to UI include a technical understanding as well as being able to place one's self in the user's shoes and also put user in the front and center while designing anything.
One must understand how the user interacts and experiences the product, system, or service. It includes a person's perceptions of utility, ease of use, and efficiency.
A customer's engagement with a business at each touchpoint is the focus of customer experience design. Any interaction that has the potential to alter a customer's perception of a business is referred to as a touchpoint.
Recognizing touchpoints consists of CX Design. My role also includes optimizing the touchpoints before, during, and after conversion.
On a more visual side of things, not only does visual design focus on the overall look, but it’s about the experience with the transitions, animations, and display of content.
My role within visual design ensures that the looks not only work well, but they represent the brand and what the client envisions.
By applying empathy and an understanding of the routines, behaviors, frustrations, requirements, and wants of their potential clients/users, product designers try to solve real problems for real people by putting users in the front and center.
My skills in product design stem from UX/UI along with design thinking and prototyping.
Product research stands out from the other skills because it includes the research area prior to designing. My skills within this area include figuring out the best way to create and market your new product ideas or redesigning existing ones and whether it will be profitable.
Some specific skills may be analytical, research, problem-solving, and general technical skills within the field.
Following product research is design thinking, which is the method of problem-solving that puts the requirements of the user first. Technical skills within the design are just part of design thinking, it also includes the ability to empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
By working with multiple websites, I have been able to develop an understanding of user needs and interactions.
To go even further about understanding interactions with the users dives into another skill set that I have developed. Interactive/Interaction Design focuses on the interaction that the user has with the product and the goal is to improve the interactive experience.
This specific skill set also includes strategic thinking to optimize the experience.
In this time, Web design is something each and every business owners, freelancers, startups, etc, looking for their brand's or personal website. I have gained much knowledge into this skill along with my other skills which help to grow your websites faster and provide you more leads.
Other skills beneficial to web design that I have obtained include SEO, Web Server Management, programming languages, and an understanding of Digital Marketing.
Moving further into the graphics and visuals for a website, branding & identity, marketing, I have worked on branding projects that utilized my creativity and interactive media skills.
Graphic design also includes interpersonal skills, where I am using constant communication to create what the client envisions.
Throughout all projects, I have developed leadership skills, especially in a field where visuals are a majority of the work. Because it's vital to actively listen, do strategic thinking, feel empathy, and have flexibility.
Similarly to leadership, I have developed management skills on independent projects and as a team. There are many elements where I have to wait for others which affect the project deadlines, thus I have learned to manage the course of a project.
