Sandia National Laboratories
Senior UX DesignerExpanding my experience with UX and UI (by practicing my empathy towards user’s experiences).
What I worked on.
With multiple teams at Sandia, I effectively fulfilled multiple roles in the successful testing, design, and development of enterprise-level projects. As a UX Practitioner, I conducted usability testing, analytics review and persona development that created data to improve the usability of applications. I followed best practices from the Neilsen Norman Group to conduct heuristic evaluations and created improved designs based on these findings. To prepare for a design update to their main website, I analyzed current traffic using Google Analytics to build initial personas. Building on this data I conducted public surveys on their website using Survey Monkey to better understand their visitors.
As a UI Designer, I collaborated in a team environment to build a design system that will be implemented lab wide, improved the engagement of websites and developed prototypes to test the user experience and informed development.
I improved upon my UX Process by following the RITE method, Rapid Iterative Testing & Evaluation, to efficiently create UI designs and UX recommendations based on usability test findings and my own expert reviews. This innovative method combines the roles of the UX Practitioner and UI Designer providing extensive savings to the customer.
