Hi, I’m Evan!

I’m a Senior UX Designer with 10+ years of experience building first-of-a-kind digital products.

My Wheelhouse

Discovery

I can create and execute a research plan to identify user needs and how to align those with business goals.

UX Design

I define the user experience with deliverables – app diagrams, user stories, wireframes, prototypes and functional specs.

User Research

By talking to users, I can help you validate product-market fit, discover pain points, gather requirements, and test usability.
