User Experience (UX) Researcher and Designer
Industry: Computer Software, Most of my recent projects have required NDA's, but one was a global Website for a German car manufacturer and the other for one of the largest old-fashioned communications companies in Germany. I'm continuing to increasingly engage in freelance projects, but am still very interested in pursuing fulltime positions.

About me
My strengths include strong analytical and interpersonal skills for supporting collaboration between users, sponsors, visual designers, and development teams to produce widely adopted user-centered solutions.
I enjoy project based work that permits me to delve deep into a domain of human endeavor, craft real solutions for the problems people have, there, and stay involved in the project to the point that those solutions are implemented.
