I am …
Adaptable
I currently wear many hats at my job. We run extremely lean and it has given me the rare opportunity to learn new skills on the job and directly apply those learnings into successful projects.
Inquisitive
As someone who came to this field as a self learner and did not go the traditional route of coming from a design school, I have an aptitude for learning and love discovering new skills and enhancing existing skillsets to be more proficient in the field.
Empathetic
I see things in a multitude of ways. Nothing is one-sided to me. As a UX/UI Designer, I must be able to see the perspective from the user’s POV and the client’s. Solutions will create better results if you are an advocate for the user and their needs.
a Communicator
Communication is absolutely critical to be successful. Everything is complex enough that guessing and assumptions could lead to the downfall of a project very quickly. I like to communicate early and cross-departmental to safeguard that possibility.
a Collaborator
Collaboration is everything. A project will touch the hands of many and it’s important that each person involved has the same understanding of the goals and solutions that are trying to be achieved.
a Good Listener
The other half of communicating is being able to listen. I believe good listening can lead to less mistakes, better results, camaraderie and connections in the long run.
