I am a passionate Certified User Experience Practitioner, Interaction Designer and Front-end developer....

I am a chap with many hats, is what I am.
I have been told that I am a good story teller, this, I take as a great complement.

My personal feeling is, as a User Experience designer, it is one of the most important things to be able to do, and one that I enjoy doing. But for me it goes much further than that, I love working with people from all walks for life, may that be a stakeholder, manager, designer or the user, I try to build relationships and this helps me tell the story, which I feel needs to be told.

When on a UX project, I have the benefit of being able to think and include various aspects into my works. Such as;

  • what does the business want,
  • what is the user asking for,
  • what will help the sales and marketing teams,
  • how will brand and design fit into the solution

I am sure most UXers do this, but, what I feel sets me apart is the last hat, that of the developers. Where I consider how will a development team work with my solution.

My Methodology

01 – The Planning

The planning phase of the project is very important, as it helps to ensure everyone involved is on the ‘same page’. As a UX professional, I need to assertain, what the business wants, what I need/can do within the budget and timelines, as well as what the business expectation is and how success is measured.

03 – The Experience

I begin by building user personas and stories, then onto creating the user flow for the site/app. I then jump onto sketching various wireframes, I do this a multitude of times until I find the best layout and flow for the end user. At which point I put together a prototype that can be tested.

02 – The Requirements

I usually consult with both the Stakeholder(s) as well as the End Users, when doing my research into the project. Durning these interviews I gather my requirements from both parties both from a user perspective as well as a business perspective. This ensures that I can construct the correct user interface and flow.

04 – The Testing

The user testing is usually done as per the persona’s that have been created, ensuring that we create cards for our users, where they are given certain tasks to perform. I record the users interacting with the prototype, as well as taking notes on any questions/queries a user may have asked.
