More about Ms. J

"I've been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving." -Jeffery Veen
Yes, I love UX Design and I'd love to help solve your usability and design problems, but cultural fit is also an important component in any relationship. So I believe it's important to know a little more about me. I love when I get a chance to present in front of a group of people about design, I'm active in the product management groups in Austin, I love that I get the chance to volunteer with local charities through my current workplace, I love being able to shoot Nerf guns at my coworkers and decorating our cubes together during holidays. I love working with people who are enthusiastic about what they are building and enjoy coming to work and spending time together. Happiness in the workplace will directly impact the result of a project and I only want to build the best.
