They provide reviews of kid-friendly activities, hotels, and travel tips for family fun. For over a year, I have worked remotely with a small family oriented team based in San Francisco and Albuquerque on a responsive update to their existing website. Using a mobile first process we decided on Ember.js as our application framework and Ruby on Rails as our backend framework to create a single page application that would serve content quicker in all environments. Foundation was used as our responsive front-end framework. I served as the UX designer using InVision for design review. I also assisted in front end development creating scalable icons and assets in SVG and styling using SASS. ︎+︎=︎ User Experience ProcessFocusing on UX for the past two years with the small team at Trekaroo has been a rewarding complement to my design and front end development skills.
