Hi! I'm KatieA little about me:

I'm a sucker for a good cat GIF, I'll always say 'yes' to an almond milk latte, I'm always looking for ways to promote sustainability, and I want to hear all about your project.From Photog to the Web:About Katie

Katie is an absolute joy to work with. I was lucky enough to work on several projects with her and both her intelligence and thoughtfulness were demonstrated daily.

She is more than capable of wearing as many hats as you can put on her head. I've seen her wrangle Wordpress, boost SEO, refactor out-dated html and css and troubleshoot pesky Javascript all in a day, while simultaneously communicating expectations with teammates and stakeholders in empathetic, clear terms. Her ability to anticipate and stay ahead of potential project pitfalls while staying cool under tight deadlines is really something to see.

She was a great teammate and I highly recommend her to anyone considering her for a position. And feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions about her at all. She's the real thing.

I had the pleasure of working with Katie on a large scale web development project.

If you're in need of web design, strategic content, and/or theme development, Katie is a person that's going to be able to deliver. Katie's get-it-done work ethic and enthusiastic demeanor were a huge advantage to both our project and our team.

In our particular situation, taking on new subject matter and tech was necessary at times. While showing wisdom in pointing out what might be new and what might take additional time, Katie never shied away from the opportunity to expand her horizons or work in new spheres of thought.

Katie's outstanding ability to execute, grow and communicate in balance make her an ideal addition to any strategic web development operation.

Katie is a talented photographer, designer and web developer who has a special talent for UI/UX design and analysis as well as other user-focused development approaches. Katie has always been a responsible, and timely student, carrying out her work on schedule and with a high level of quality. I am continually impressed by her ability to produce polished work, even under tight deadlines. I am happy to have worked with Katie, and I would welcome her on any development team.

Understand the user first.
UX Design Process
DISCOVERY
RESEARCH

Collect quantitative and qualitative data to understand the target user, including their needs, pain points, and existing mental models. Research methods often include: user interviews, competitive analysis, heuristic evaluation, affinity mapping, and more.

PLAN

Brainstorm and sketch possible solutions. Develop user stories. Build IA framework and user flow. Perform card sort study on existing and proposed information architecture.

DESIGN

Building upon the successful models found in the planning phase, create wireframes and prototypes from low to high fidelity.

TEST

Testing of designs should begin early and happen often so time spent going down the wrong design path is minimized. User testing of sketches, wireframes, and prototypes is primarily task based.

ITERATE

Iterate through research, planning, design, and testing phases. Modify designs until validated and project is ready for development. Once project is launched, analyze effectiveness of implementation.
