With over 30 years of experience, there's A LOT to share.
Here are just a few of my career highlights
organized around my project lifecycle approach.
From a simple desire to produce non-subjective heuristics in 2001, I recently came full circle by conceiving, prototyping and managing the creation of an application to track, measure and report design system compliance anomalies on a site-wide, automated level.
My Adoption Metrics Dashboard project strategy provides a complete user experience - from application development and design, to onboarding and support, and push/pull reporting and communications planning.
The Home Depot Was seeking a solution for a PLP format that overwhelmed the customer with too many filter/sort and search options. My strategy won us recognition from NNG and a "Best of the Web" Award.
Sometimes all the best efforts still come down to priorities. I worked on a substantial strategy to improve online credit card application conversions. The project gave us a great opportunity to learn from personas, form field user tests, and omni channel experience processes. But in the end the entire project was scrapped due a switch in the bank's business model.
User-centric experience modeling and focus.
For design, I like to start with requirements and success metrics. But I'm also skilled in leading collaboration sessions via online workspace.
Show me the data.
I have a uniquely objective process for collecting and visualizing competitive, user, site, and design compliance data. By quickly ramping this format, my teams meet dual-track or spike based agile head-on.
Empathy begins with ...
User expectation is the first step of a good experience. Delight and satisfaction are its destination.
Schooled in journalism and library science.
My roots are in content strategy, reverse pyramid structure and technical/instructional writing. But, I also enjoy making good ad copy.
