Sharing Knowledge
Finished Designs
Final design presentations are a checkpoint opportunity for me solidify the case the case for a particular set of designs. In an iterative process, there needs always to be room for designs to be updated as more information is made available throughout the product lifecycle, but design hand-offs and critical hand-shake ceremonies are a chance to succinctly pull together the reasoning behind all of the work I’ve done up to that point.
For the sake of simplicity and 1:1 explanation, I present directly from my “Dev Ready” design file. The goal is for my designs to speak for themselves, but I make sure to include interactive prototypes, design notes, and sub-feature design sheets wherever necessary to minimize the need for follow-up clarification
Below are some examples of the screen flows I’ve built out for final design delivery.
The story referenced in this case study was centered around incorporating draft saving capabilities into a wikipedia-style database.
The details behind this project are protected. The images included on this page have been chosen and scrubbed so as to illustrate final design documentation without giving away sensitive information.
The team’s “Mobile first” philosophy dictated that, despite our platform’s dominant desktop presence, mobile and desktop designs were always delivered together.
Continuing this complex story, the document pivots into detailing a housing space for the saved drafts.
User Experience Awareness
On a slightly less formal note, I also have experience educating a broad spectrum of groups on the UX discipline. I’ve been called on by supervisors to prepare educational decks and often deliver presentations of this nature to senior leadership teams.
On a less formal note, I’ve also also been reached out to by past university professors who I’ve stayed in touch with, youth mentorship programs and organizations I used to be part of (my old 4-H club, for example), and family friends looking for a little guidance for their college aged children.
