I’m based in Miami Fl. I'm able to design a complete user interface for both desktop and mobile devices backed by research. I do this utilizing the design thinking process, agile and lean methodologies. I help teams turn their ideas into a living brand.
I'm a sucker for awesome pasta. What I do when I'm not working? I'm either listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson on StarTalk, watching Anime, or enjoying time with friends and family. Some other interests of mine include science, astrology, help to make the planet a better place, and helping others.
User Interface (UI) elements are virtual items on a website’s interface that allow users to engage with the design. Examples of such items include buttons, slider arrows, navigation bars, dropdown lists, message boxes, and anything that enables users to navigate through a website.
It is all the research that you conduct to understand your end user better. UX Booth defines user research as “a variety of investigative methods used to add context and insight to the design process.” The process incorporates analytical tasks such as quantitative and qualitative research. Quantitative research relates to gathering numerical data to understand user behavior. On the flip side, qualitative research is a descriptive attempt to understand the target audience’s problems, motivations, opinions, and reasons via processes such as interviews.
Interaction design is a type of web design that is centered around creating an engaging interface with logical actions and behaviors. Successful interaction design is based on the use of technology and a clear understanding of good communication to create the desired user experience.
A wireframe is a skeletal framework of your product, app, or website design. It is a blueprint of the design without any content, images, and interactive elements. The purpose of a wireframe is to lay out the functionality and content of the page, showing where a design element will be present on the screen. Wireframes are made in the early development phase before a prototype is created to establish a basic structure of the page before any design elements are added to it.
Another frequently used UX term is user-centered design. It emphasizes the end user throughout the design and development process. The goal is to produce a design that aligns with the wants and needs of the user. To this end, UCD revolves around continuously researching, testing, and checking features within the product to deliver a design that appeals to users.
