the value of Perspective
We are a made up of a multitude of experiences, so why not try to improve those experiences of how we navigate the world and how we do so together? So far, I have done this through customer/employee services, environments, print, web design, and technology experiences for the federal government, non-profits, foundations, and restaurants. I’m always thinking of those 30,000 ft views – how did we get to this point – what’s around us – what does this future look like – the experience is never just the one piece in front of you.
service Design
I seek the bigger picture of experience touchpoints - my research and co-creation has an expanded view on every project. And I’ve done this at some of the largest and most impactful service scales - within the federal government.
strategy
As an empathetic strategic thinker and dedicated learner, all of my work is about human interaction. When given a service or a product or a goal, I look at it with a human-centered mindset and a research-backed approach.
USER EXPERIENCE
From interviews, to working sessions, to prototypes, the accessible experience of a user through a space (digital, print, environmental) is how they’re able to accomplish tasks and get more out of their experiences. My job is to help them get to where they want to go, seamlessly and positively.
