HOW I APPROACH CREATING UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
A PROCESS FOR MEETING CLIENT NEEDS
I’ve refined this process with over a decade of hands on experience in various projects with close collaboration of the teams required to complete all tasks.
It’s proven it’s use time and time again to bridge internal communication gaps, expedite the delivery of projects and deliver useful and usable interfaces.
After working with my clients through this process they also have become savvier about their own experiences. I like to help provide additional guidance and training so they can optimize their experience based on performance.
