Portfolio & Case Studies

Wireframe to Pixel Perfect: Low to High-Fidelity Mockups

Wireframes help us focus on things like how it looks, what it can do, and where things should go, without getting lost in fancy details. When we work together to figure out how everything should work and look, it makes the whole project clearer and smoother. This not only saves time but also helps us find and fix any problems early on, ensuring a great experience for everyone involved.

Inside My Process

My methodology is based on Design Thinking: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test, and Implement. A methodology will give the team an idea of what to expect but my experience is what makes the journey smooth.

Information Architecture: Smooth Navigation

What if you could only subtract to solve problems? This thought-provoking question often guides me during Information Architecture refreshes. One particular challenge I encountered was the issue of information overload faced by administrators. The excessive contextual proliferation on their website was leading to delays in processing candidate applications.

UX for B2B

B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) are distinct realms, each requiring tailored UX methodologies. As a B2B UX designer, I specialize in crafting comprehensive journey maps that cater to specific decision-makers within an industry. By understanding your customers' needs and preferences, we can collaboratively construct a clear path that enhances their experience and drives success for your business.

Defining an Experience

Revamping the user experience for a high-end construction company like Rhino Construction is no small task. Although the content foundation is solid, their current web presence is outdated and needs a significant overhaul. The challenge lies in transforming this fixer-upper into their dream website. With my expertise, can I breathe new life into their online presence and create a remarkable digital experience?
