I had the pleasure of being Lori's first manager in her switch to User Experience. I was constantly amazed at how quickly Lori could learn and execute user experience concepts and techniques. Her ability to immediately generate rapport with clients, users, and team members makes her a joy to work with.

Nov 2018 - Oct 2020
I worked on a Scrum team tasked with guiding a client through a digital transformation. I employed a variety of strategies to understand, identify, and prioritize upcoming features, including facilitating card storm workshops and user observations. I led collaborative design sessions to create outcomes that would meet users' needs and validated these assumptions by performing usability studies. I leveraged a variety of skills to progress the team toward our shared goals, including writing HTML/CSS, leading refinement sessions, and performing quality assurance testing. I also enjoyed taking on the role of educator, participating in user training sessions, and leading educational workshops to introduce lean UX practices to the development team. Show less
