UI/UX Design
As seen in the following case studies, along with solving the user's problems, I approach all of my work as a UX designer with the idea that I am a leader and stakeholder. In cases, where I am titled a lead, I guide the team and fellow UX Designers toward productive solutions. In cases where I am the sole UX design function, I lead to facilitate the needs of the product, the team and the user.
Leadership
I am very adaptable to the needs of a company when it comes to craftsmanship. If given the time that UX fully deserves to find the correct answer to a design problem, I follow the full UX process, which includes research, synthesis of data, design, test, iterate, facilitate shipping, repeat. If the company I am employed by needs answers quicker, the process can be shrunk down to reach design decisions that are still industry standard.
Craftsmanship
Research is the back bone of UX design. Without listening to the user, we lose our claim to the title. In many roles in absence of a UX design & research process, I have established that process or raised the value of business functions that can handle our research needs. On teams I am a strong voice of user centered process in product / UX design.
