Approach to UX

It’s not “just” about the user experience but all the things you can’t see, hear, smell, or touch that completes the whole picture. That, is what really tells the story. I call this UX forensic evidence — it’s the hidden messages and response that tell us the “why’s” of how something is used and reveals the way our brains tell us to use it the way we do. This, is the essence of a true tangible experience.

I strive to focus on continual improvement: iterate, uncover, solve, and remediate for successful human interactions.
