I worked across multiple teams including design, production, marketing, editorial, business, and software engineering to create products meeting client's requirements. I developed new and adjusted existing visual/branding/interaction style guidelines and standards. I assisted teams during development with graphic possibilities and limitations. I worked with Product Management team to translate requirements into concepts and user experience design. I created interaction models, user task flows, screen designs, and UI details that promote ease of use, improving and optimizing the user experience. I developed and maintained wireframes and prototypes to communicate design and UX ideas. Participated on user testing sessions and collected users feedback during prototype presentations. Produced documentation and specifications required for design implementation.
