VerizonSr UX Designer

Mar. 2022New York, United StatesAs a Senior UX Designer for internal management, my central responsibility is to design and develop innovative and user-centric experiences for all employees within the organization. This involves engaging in extensive collaboration with stakeholders across different departments to gain a comprehensive understanding of their pain points, challenges, and aspirations. By conducting in-depth discussions and workshops, I gather detailed requirements and insights to ensure that the solutions we create are precisely aligned with their unique needs. In addition to stakeholder engagement, I conduct focus groups and user research to gain a thorough understanding of the end-users' preferences, behaviors, and expectations. This involves gathering qualitative and quantitative data to inform our design decisions and ensure that the final products resonate with the intended audience. Furthermore, I leverage prototyping tools such as Figma and Adobe XD to create interactive and visually compelling prototypes of the final designs. This allows us to gather feedback early in the design process and iterate on the designs based on user input. Collaborating closely with developers, I ensure that the design vision is effectively translated into the final product. By maintaining open lines of communication and working in tandem with the development team, we ensure that the user experience design aligns seamlessly with the technical implementation while adhering to our brand guidelines and overall design principles.
