Innovations

Environments are circumstances in which we live. Such as at home, on the go, in work, and in life. Environments affect emotions, behavior, motivation, and life changes. Over the past several decades we have experienced an evolution of change caused by technology and affecting human environments.

These ever-changing environments create new opportunities to understand the needs and desires of consumers. Addressing the need for the evolution of change in business, brand, and product requires a new lens to approaching product development and innovation. Success in product design requires spending time understanding the consumer. Don’t forego human research.

These are four key objectives to product design:

  1. Understand and know your consumer and/or customer.
  2. Identify the purpose that the product has in the life of the consumer through the consumer’s lens.
  3. Define the job that needs to be done.
  4. Design for product-market fit.

I worked with many types of businesses and startups across many industries providing innovation. I have a wide range of experiences that bring to research, strategy, and design. Design project types include content, technology, web design, social media, mobile, digital vending, digital in-store & DOOH, geo-location apps, games, AR/VR reality, magic mirrors, digital mannequins, quantified-self, pharmaceutical app, video, and the physical world including home appliances, medical devices, and retail.

These examples represent unique projects that I had the pleasure of being involved in providing research and strategy.
