Top Skills

User-Centered Design (UCD)

My unique perspective on User-Centered Design comes from extensive experience in fintech and healthcare. I prioritize understanding user needs through qualitative feedback and testing. By transforming complex data into intuitive designs, I create engaging user experiences. My focus on inclusivity and accessibility ensures my designs empower all users.

Design Process Optimization

This involves streamlining workflows with agile methodologies for efficiency and creativity. By integrating user feedback at every stage, I ensure designs remain user-focused. I also created a design ticketing system to track progress, leading to faster project completion and more impactful results.

Design Thinking & Leadership

My kind of Design Thinking and Leadership is shaped by leading cross-functional teams and a combination of methods for deep user insights to drive innovation. My belief is that all design efforts should be measured, milestones should be marked, and accomplishments should be celebrated.

Data Visualization

I specialize in creating intuitive data visualizations that make complex information accessible and actionable. I've designed dashboards and reports using various charting libraries. My focus is on clarity and usability, transforming raw data into visual stories that drive decision-making.

  • Sarah Sims | Founder & CEO My Patient Insight

    Hi Amy! Joe and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for your work on the Hypertension R01 Grant for Henry Ford Hospitals.

    You really nailed the key usability elements required and the work provides a crystal clear vision of what well-designed technology can do. While we are still a way off from knowing if/when that project will start, I wanted to give you a special shout out for your effort from both of us. Looking forward to kicking off the automated measures project soon... ;-)

  • Dan Germain | Principal Product Manager Wowza Media Systems

    We gave Amy the difficult task of working through our legacy UI and UX then challenged her to come up with something new. Working with Amy through this process was a real pleasure and I would go as far as to say fun!

    The quality and speed of work which Amy produced was mind-blowing and I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy to you to take on any type of UX and design work. She certainly did an amazing job with our high-end video encoding design, but she also showed us a huge divergent range of other project types that she had worked on.

  • Dan Van Meer | Director, Demand Generation & Digital Marketing VersaPay

    I wanted to let you know that we've finished our engagement with Amy. She has done a great job for us and helped set a very strong direction for our project. I've been very impressed by her UI/UX abilities, but even more so I was impressed by her ability to help us learn about what we really needed in a project like this.

  • Dave Clack | CEO Square Box Systems Ltd

    It has truly been a pleasure working with Amy: who was able to understand our complex application quickly and recognize the balance between evolution and revolution for our tens of thousands of users. Amy provided a different perspective on the CatDV UX, which made us think about our users and what they are trying to do, in a way that we wouldn't have considered on our own. The deliverables have been spot on, and leave us in a great spot for development. We look forward to re-engaging for feedback when the development is underway.
