Los Angeles, CAIn My Own Words
Hi, I'm Jared.. UX Designer creating low-effort and intuitive experiences, with a love of the outdoors and a background in Japanese & art.
I design experiences that simplify process, helping users and businesses more easily achieve their goals.
My interests take all forms.. design, technology, art, the outdoors, automotive, and entertainment industries. If I'm not at my computer working, I'm likely catching waves, painting, or brushing up on my Japanese.

Digital Karma2017 – 2017
Project based freelance work with co-founder Jill DaSilva. The first project I took on, was for a client who wanted to update their online user flow and purchase process but didn’t know where to start given their highly complex configurable offerings. Through Heuristic analysis, stakeholder and user interviews, my team and I zeroed-in on the major touch points and formulated a plan for our 2 week sprint. Further projects involved usability testing and product strategy reports. It was great working with jill and her team, who are more like a family than just a team.
