I received a Master's Degree in User Experience Design from Kent State University. It has helped me look through both visual and web design projects with a new perspective, focusing on user needs and what will help both the business and the user get what they want out of each interaction.

Below are some of the projects I worked on in school to develop skills in things like prototyping, wire frames, usability testing, user research, personas, and other aspects that happen before the final coat of visual and interface design. Each of these is a case study that goes over the skills learned and implemented.
