I decided to explore the field of user experience design a few years into my career as a landscape architect. While I enjoyed the challenge of designing unique landscapes for a variety of clients, I yearned for more of an analytics based solution.
Feedback on our landscape designs was little more than perceived value from a community or client. Was I crazy to want to know if the large amount of park space dedicated to a baseball diamond correlated to an increase in little league participation worthy of the space it demanded? Are there other more efficient or valued uses of park space that we had yet to explore? They were questions I wondered but didn’t have the facilities or resources to answer.
With the help of many Google searches and chats with friends, I came across the field of UX. With a bit of background in website design, I was intrigued by the agile, informed innovations UX designers were making. I decided it was something I wanted to be a part of. So in 2015 I signed up for a UX design course to facilitate my transition from architecture to user experience design.
Check out my portfolio of UX projects here or look through some of my work samples below.
