Hello, I'm Chad.
I’m a UX Designer focused on integrating visual design, user experience, and business strategy to create holistic digital solutions that are meaningful and valuable to users. Here’s a bit about my approach to research and design and the values I bring to every project.
-
I make design decisions by combining real user insights and data. Whether it’s numbers or user feedback, I turn it into clear, meaningful design choices that serve a purpose. This approach helps me align what users need with business goals, creating a straightforward path to value.
-
I take a design-thinking approach that puts users at the center of everything I create. For me, it’s all about clarity, consistency, and accessibility at every step. I focus on keeping things simple and intuitive, using visual hierarchy to guide the experience. By grounding my work in data and listening to real user feedback, I ensure the designs are not just efficient but genuinely meaningful.
-
In the role of project leader, I focus on bringing scrum values and agile principles to life in every part of the product development process. I work to build strong, collaborative teams, set clear goals that everyone can rally around, and keep things moving with regular, actionable feedback from stakeholders. My goal is to make sure every step aligns with business objectives and delivers real value for both users and clients.

I believe a well-designed, user-friendly product not only attracts users but also fosters trust and brand loyalty.
I aim to design user experiences that are intuitive and engaging, grounded in how people actually use products and what matters to them. My process is agile and human-centered, driven by research that informs my decisions and ensures every aspect of a product’s design is functional, visually appealing, and aligned with business goals.
