Hello, my name is John.

Welcome to my UX portfolio website. I am a UX design leader with a passion for driving engaging and intuitive user experiences across products and apps. Through my leadership and work, I strive to help users achieve their goals in a seamless and enjoyable way while also meeting business objectives. Currently, I am a FinTech UX leader for the Financial Services Organization (FSO) at Ernst & Young (EY). Whether it's designing a mobile app or a complex web application, I approach each project with the same level of dedication and attention to detail. I believe that the best designs come from collaboration and iteration, and I work closely with designers, stakeholders and development teams to ensure that every design is executed to the highest standard. Thank you for taking the time to review my portfolio, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

It's all in the details

These days I really like leading UX within product teams, helping build quality design systems, end-to-end product design and ensuring all designs are validated with user research. My past experiences in graphic and visual design are a solid foundation for quality user interface (UI) design, however the challenges of exploratory research, complex user flows, wire-framing, lean/agile methods, design thinking, design sprints, and more really get my creative energy in full gear. Here are some examples of my work. If you like what you see, please take a look at my full portfolio link.  I also include case studies and examples of my process so you can see some of the finer details, however, due to company privacy and NDA's, you'll need the password to access some of those areas;) Contact me directly for more information.

"People ignore design that ignores people."

— Frank Chimero

Good product design should include mixed methods of research and requirements gathering to help understand problems and validate solutions that deliver the very best experience to end users.  I realize some businesses don't have the resources to hire professional UX Researchers to work alongside designers and other members of the product team.  I have been fortunate to work with some of the best UX research professionals in my career. Working alongside these talented professionals has provided me with the knowledge and skills to integrate qualitative and quantitative methods of research into my design work. Being a hybrid designer/researcher allows me to create and validate designs people will use and love.
