Interact

Welcome! This is my space to be colorful, curious, and creative.

Interact is an interactive PowerPoint presentation playground—clips, quizzes, and creative layouts that make learning fun. (Also, I love making a good PowerPoint).  I'll give you the tour; I have:

  1. UX Unplugged: Principles and laws explained through playful, real-world examples. 
  2. Work With Me Vlogs: Accessibility in action. Co-work with me, learn tips, or just enjoy the vibe. UX
  3. Unsolicited UX Advice Curious critiques and research for brands that didn’t ask (but spme day they might).

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something useful, inspiring, or at least mildly entertaining.

UX Unplugged

This segment challenges the industry's digital-only focus, asserting that User Experience (UX) goes far beyond the screen. I created it to address my frustration with UX peers who concentrate only on applications and websites. UX Unplugged serves as a platform to demonstrate the real-life applications of UX by applying foundational principles to case studies in a fun, interactive way.

Also, I high​ly recommend viewing these in full-screen Presentation Mode. They're more fun that way.
