User Research

User Testing & Iterative Design

Over the years, I’ve tried my best to design products that primarily focus on usability. While at Yahoo, I worked hand in hand with some fantastic user researchers. Using rapid prototyping and an iterative design process, we would quickly cycle through product ideas. By repeatedly testing and refining, we would transform my initial concept sketches into final working products.
