Human Factors and User Experience

Bio:

I am currently pursuing an MBA to deepen my expertise in business strategy and operations, building on my background in human factors, business objectives, UX, and software systems. This focus reflects my long-standing interest in aligning user-centered design with business objectives, allowing me to work as a bridge between departments. I am also pursuing an entrepreneurial role at the moment with a sole-proprietor eCommerce business.

My professional background spans a diverse range of roles in the digital and physical product space, where I consistently deliver human-centered solutions that achieve measurable business outcomes.

For over eight years, I served as a software developer, systems analyst, UI designer and developer, and UX specialist.
I have three years’ experience as a human factors engineer / usability engineer on medical devices, combination products, and consumer products.
And for over four years I worked on various projects including end-to-end UX design, UX research, web design, digital marketing, social media marketing, and web development (mostly WordPress).

I approach every project with a focus on aligning innovative solutions with business objectives, creating products that stand out through superior user experiences and usability. My pragmatic mindset fosters a balance between innovation and risk management, ensuring actionable outcomes.

With certification as a Certified Usability Analyst, along with a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction and a Bachelor’s in Computer Information Systems, I bring the technical and strategic expertise needed to lead end-to-end UX and Human Factors research initiatives.

I’ve collaborated with high-profile organizations like Mayo Clinic, NASA, Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, UCLA, Qatar Airlines, South African Bank, Baxter Healthcare, and St. Jude, as well as smaller businesses and nonprofits, delivering solutions that resonate with users and drive business growth.

A few extra fun things about me:

I used to manage, DJ, and book music events in New Orleans venues before Pandemic.
I worked on T.V. and Film productions as extra, costume/wardrobe, accounting, graphic design, and still camera.
A few years in Digital Imaging allowed me the privilege of working with a Master in Photography Herman Leonard.
I’ve been lucky enough to get a few travel photography gigs, and one of my photos went viral thanks to a certain boy band member.
