As Senior UX Designer I was responsible for all UX/UI/Design aspects of the application and user experience. I worked intimately with Product Management to help define new features and project scope to ensure a high-quality experience for our users. This included prototyping and testing new features and interactions; ongoing competitive analysis of competitor apps; analyzing user feedback to continuously refine and improve the app experience.

I was responsible for creating all user flows, wireframes, visual designs, mockups, high-fidelity prototypes and production-ready assets for every release. In addition to design functions, I worked with the iOS and android developer teams to clarify interactions and ensure user-centered design principles stay true thru production, and remained flexible to making adjustments to features or designs to meet schedule. One of the engineering challenges was working with legacy code code and integrating new coding methodologies, while still delivering a delightful user experience. I would often brainstorm with developers to find effective solutions to these problems.

In addition, I was responsible for creation of all production-ready assets, redlines and specification documentation for the developers; and flows, documentation, and guidance for QA on an ongoing basis.
