Helping teams lower the cost of development

Professionally I contribute to various design related efforts in the bitcoin ecosystem and occasionally as an independent UX Consultant. I’ve learnt that one needs to be creative and adaptable and willing to learn and experiment with new techniques and technologies.

With a Bachelors degree in Marketing and a professional diploma in UX design. I present a skillset that not only looks at the product development process but also the strategy and role that the product plays within the larger landscape.

Driven by agile processes as well as openess and collaboration. My work ethic has one core insight.

Process

A major reason for project failure is a lack of understanding of user needs. Engineers and stakeholders often lose sight of the users needs amidst discussions about design and features.

My approach focusses on understanding and prioritizing user needs which helps in building products that users really need and enjoy. This user centric strategy leads to increased user satisfaction but also prevents wasted time spent on developing unwanted features and making costly development costs later.
