Summary

I am a recently laid off UX generalist with experience in both research and design for cybersecurity and other technical fields.

Strengths:
- Complex problem solving from a background in mathematics and computer science
- Low budget background research
I always start with academic papers in order to not duplicate research
- Based on the needs of the project I add in qualitative or quantitative methods to cover any blind spots
- Recommendations and solution ideation based on findings
- Collaboration with highly technical specialists
- Adaptability to shifting needs
- I am research leaning, but skilled in wire framing, prototyping, UI, and UX advocacy as well

Value to company:
- Redesigned a process editor with better standard compliance for industry recognized shapes and improved tools that increased speed of task completion by 67%
- Introduced low and zero budget research options to the team UX practice resulting in an improved process for validating decisions
- Conducted an accessibility audit identifying changes necessary to ensure 508 compliance, minimize risk of legal action, and increase product inclusivity
- Researched in depth and holistically redesigned an impact analysis feature that better supported the goals of target users and became a key talking point during product demos

Expectations

- Full time, in house, product team or temporary contract
- A role where Im able to tackle challenging and complex design and/or research problems
- Personal and professional
growth
