Hello, I’m Jude — a UX designer passionate about crafting intuitive, seamless, and memorable experiences. My journey into UX has been shaped by 20+ years as a photographer and my background in information science.
As a photographer, I honed skills in visual storytelling, simplifying complex scenes, and creating purposeful designs—skills I now bring to user interfaces to ensure they are both functional and engaging. My experience as a librarian enhanced my understanding of information architecture and user-centered systems, teaching me the importance of empathy, clarity, and accessibility.
Combining creativity, analytical thinking, and user empathy, I design experiences that simplify tasks and bridge the gap between technology and everyday life.
