Design Thinking

Diagram: Google Design Thinking framework: Empathy (two heads in a connected loop), Define (a dart in the target's bullseye), Ideate (an arrangement of light bulbs), Prototype (computer screen with mobile screens), and Test (various icons including dialoge, users lined up, and forms)

While every project, be it an app, website, or anything else, follows Google’s Design Thinking framework, most case studies are abbreviated for brevity. For a complete example of my design thinking and UX/UI Design process, please click here or the Harris Center case study graphic below.

Case Studies

Explore my constantly evolving UX/UI Design portfolio, and check back often as I add and expand on my numerous case studies, galleries, and articles, ranging from recent to a retrospective work spanning more than two decades in the design trenches!

Campaigns

Corporate identity, print and digital collateral, indoor and outdoor signage, trade show booth and merch design, vehicle wraps, and much more. These projects required creating comprehensive standards and a variety of consistently-designed products. Each required my UX/UI Design skills and others I’ve picked added to my deep design toolbox over the years.

Websites

It was an unconventional way to get to app UX/UI Design, but I’ve designed 200+ sites of nearly every size and about every industry, including military, federal, B2B, and commercial.
