About Me
As a Product Designer I thrive when creating experiences that help people get work done and make data-driven decisions.
With grounding in the social sciences and firsthand engineering experience, I bring multi-faceted approach to the design and development of products and experiences.
My Story
When I first heard the term "user experience" a lightbulb went off in my head.
I'd spent months in hospital operating rooms collecting data a with a beta version of a mobile application. In my spare time, I'd ask the doctors and nurses (the target user group) what they thought of the application's features, document areas where they were having trouble, and come up with ideas to improve the application.
Reading online, I learned that there were names for what I'd been doing: user research, usability testing, and user experience design.
I'd gotten my start in UX without even realizing it.
Designing Since 2013
Over the last few years I've had the opportunity to work with startups, small businesses, and large companies designing experiences, launching products, and refining existing products.
It's an incredible honor and privilege to create experiences for other people.
I love being a designer because every problem I solve makes someone else's day that much better.
People Pleaser
What others are saying about me
Spencer is one of the most talented designers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. His inventory redesign became a critical feature in re-thinking the struggles customers were having. Spencer researched, designed, coded a prototype, and demoed the feature to customers independently.
Spencer's passion for creating a seamless and intuitive user experience made a significant impact on the UI and UX of the software we worked on together at Gauss Surgical. The design recommendations that he developed resulted in a more intuitive user interface and increased usability of our product.
Spencer was a valuable member of our team; being a self-starter, he was always trying to understand the customer pain and use his knowledge to find opportunities that will improve the way the customer uses the product. It was an honor to work alongside him.
