Design
Designing solutions for end users with a single problem statement is an extension of innovation that involves creating visual content to communicate messages. I have received certification in Human Centered Design and Enterprise Design thinking.
Research
Understand the sensitive points, who the users are, in what context they will use your product or service, and what they need. By focusing on human experiences, we can better understand how to design better tools, processes, and procedures that impact daily life.
Illustration
In the context of UI design, illustrations can be drawings, sketches, graphic designs, or printed works of art. They are used to clarify, decorate, or visually represent text or complex ideas.
Usability and Compliance
Usability is the measure of how easy something is to use, and is often used in UX design processes. Usability is a way to measure how easy a product is to use.
I've had the pleasure of mentoring Sarah since early 2021. Not only is she highly intelligent, but she also has a growth mindset, is incredibly creative, and likes to get things done. The combination of all of these traits in one person is really hard to come by. She's a lifelong learner who not only learns but actively applies what she learns to make herself and those around her better.
David Egts
Field CTO, Public Sector
I collaborated with Sarah on a project at Walmart. Sarah and the team were looking to build an in-house application because the current product was insufficient. She conducted contextual inquiries to understand users’ needs and identify tasks needing to be accomplished. We worked together on generating insights and understanding user needs. She is eager and always willing to learn something new. She has the drive and moves any project forward with great enthusiasm.
Sheila Hurley
Design Researcher, Walmart
Sarah is a great collaborator and communicator. I had the privilege of working with Sarah on a major project and her level of dedication and involvement was unmatched. Her design skill and her eye for detail was nothing short of exemplary. I highly recommend Sarah as she would be a valuable asset to any team.
