* Design lead on our new platform products, a major strategic investment in both Industrial Design and User Experience, responsible for implementing cutting edge technology, and modularity, in the Test and Measurement field. * Worked closely with the Software Engineering team to ensure that the physical and interactive worlds were in harmony by creating a consistent and intuitive User Interface across our entire product family. * Drove the implementation of the design guidelines for our software team * Identified break through concepts via personas, customer visits, and market test validation. * Managed outside UI consultants for fresh perspectives and heavy lifting. * Created UI wire-frames, user work flow maps, visual style guides, iconography, and evaluated product sounds. All of this combined with the physical product created a unified and world class design experience.

As a member of a recognized world class design group (ID Magazine 2000), I designed hand held electronic test equipment for a global customer base. I was responsible for all phases of industrial design from initial concept development, design refinement, prototype evaluation and final production. I closely collaborated with Engineering and Production to ensure that the design integrity was maintained throughout the development process. I worked closely with the User Interaction team, and conducted rudimentary paper UI scenarios to validate approach, and drive software development. I collaborated with Product Planners to validate design concepts with potential and existing customers through global focus group studies in North America, Europe and Asia.

Designed product lines for the world's largest manufacturer of consumer fitness equipment. I was responsibel for creative problem solving, conceptual development, design refinement, model making, prototype assembly, and CAD implementation to quickly develop seasonal lines of product. Retail demands and opportunities drove our development cycles and created a fast paced and exciting work environment.

* www.connect-design.net * Designed the UX/UI for a hand held product for client. * Collected data via customer visits for beta hardware units for client. Created deliverable report. * Conducted research for client to gain better insight into users behaviors and motivations. * Delivered: Persona research, Journey Maps, Wireframes of key workflows, Visual Design, Wireframes with applied Visual Design, and Style Guide. * Conducted Formative Usability Evaluations for Medical Device client in compliance with FDA guidelines. * Delivered: Usability Engineering Plan, Task Analysis, Use Error Analysis, Use/User requirements, Evaluation Plan/Protocol, Final Evaluation Report. * Delivered: Questionnaire to over 500 participants, then synthesized data, highlighting actionable feedback and product opportunities. * Manage a network of contractors on an as needed basis to support large projects.

* Managed outside contractors and drove schedule to hit key deliverable dates. * Responsible for the UI for ‘new to world’ technology development. * Within the year, Milwaukee Corporation decided to disband the business unit, and closed the satellite office I was in.

* Worked closely with the Software Engineering team to align on project deliverables. * Generated concepts and prototypes to put in front of users. * Drove toward building a body evidence that supports the decisions and design direction, supporting the FDA process. * Drove the user experience to align with marketing and business needs. * Managed consultants, drove schedules, defined deliverables. * Collaborated with Marketing, Clinical, Human Factors, Industrial Design and Systems, all along the way through the product development process.

* Currently teaching Sophomores the User Centered Design process. The students put into practice User Centered Design thinking by creating a mobile app using Adobe Xd. This includes: * Identifying their topic through empathy and understanding the market. * Investigating through exploring and defining their goals of the app, and what problem they are solving. * Ideating through prototyping, testing, integrating, applying visual design, more prototyping. * Implementing through refinement of final design and delivering final app prototype.
