My strategy is to have clear and focused communication to comprehend business goals which are then paired with user goals and needs in order to create an effective product. By creating a comprehensive blueprint I actively seek user perspectives and empathize with them to asses their needs. Through conducting user interviews, market research, and assessing business scope, I aim to accurately define product needs and use creativity in ideation and design with a touch of play to create effective solutions.

I aim to use user research to create products that truly resonate with target audiences. By delving into the preferences, behaviors, and needs of users, UX research is used to create a deep understanding of how users interact with a product, identify pain points, and uncover opportunities for enhancement. I particularly enjoy applying anthropological approaches to research to better find an empathetic viewpoint. Using this data-driven approach is an empowering process to create intuitive and user-centric interfaces, streamline workflows, and ultimately enhance user satisfaction ensuring that the final product aligns with user expectations and delivers a seamless and engaging experience.

Using design thinking and user-centric empathy collectively shapes the effectiveness and appeal of digital products and services. I aim to craft a seamless and enjoyable user journey by understanding user behavior, needs, and pain points while creating visual interface design that results in clear communication and easy navigation. By using design, I work to create products that are intuitive, efficient, meaningful, and create a visually pleasant experience for the user
