More PRojects

Lead the the UX design efforts and innovation with an engineering team to innovate and improve a Multi-Cloud Management Platform tool which manages spending, analytics, which provided insights which helped group owners with better recommendations for improving customer’s public and private cloud app performance, availability, security, and cost. The products are SaaS offerings deployed as web services along with micro services running as containers.

My role as UX/UI producer and practitioner was to advocate for the customer and to keep a customer-centric attitude in mind for Avenet’s product offerings and business goals. As a team we gathered customer feedback by user research methods and instilled UX enhancements and improvements. We were able to successfully migrate the former site to the newer e-commerce redesign into a responsive framework while maintaining corporate branding guidelines from a design system.

I worked as an interaction designer on a team with engineers who created a clickable prototype for an advertising campaign and I assisted in developing an responsive app including streaming video using JQuery libraries for an interactive engaging online presence. I optimized images for performance, visual design, content, followed branding guidelines and organized assets while keeping track of updates. We used JIra and Git to produce and maintain our work.

As a User Experience and Social Media Strategist, I focused on understanding how and why audiences engage with content across social media platforms. Through ongoing observation and discovery, I analyzed user behavior, engagement patterns, and audience interests to identify what resonates most with viewers.

I applied these insights to improve social media marketing strategies and support business objectives. My work centered on optimizing content performance across platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, with a focus on increasing engagement, retention, and audience growth.

As a UX design and strategist – I defined the business requirements scope for the project by assessing user needs throughout Cisco’s organization and located the touch points essential to improving customer experience.

– Content migration including content types, mapping, matrices, and content strategy
– Visual design and icon creation
– User stories, uses cases, and user flows
– Harnessed design thinking, evolving the functionality and features from legacy platforms to Jive and Adobe CQ CMS platforms
– Redesign and design adaptation of features, content, visual stories and business an user requirements
– Streamlined transition using a custom migration built tool

As a UX designer and strategist, I worked on a cloud security tool called PassBan that offers modern multi-factor verification methods including biometrics, voice, facial recognition, geo-location, and on-demand OTP.

Clients looking to increase the security of their mobile or web applications with multi-factor user verification will now get access to a combined wealth of easy to use capabilities and options to choose from to best fit their application needs

I was the interaction designer who created low-fidelity and high-fidelity clickable prototypes for food industry customers who would use a mobile app to assess the ingredients of GMO’s in food products sold in grocery stores. The customer could gather data by taking a pic and scanning a bar code which would generate a report of ingredients of products that were GMO certified, in the process of getting certified, and food that had GMO ingredients. Therefore, they can make a list of what products they will purchase, share this with their family to help them chose healthier food in their diets, and find out which stores carry what inventory. This tool can help them to speed up their shopping trip and find products that they have already vetted before stepping into a store.

kind words by Teamates

I worked with her for a short duration in one of my projects at cisco. Although it was short duration,i can say that Irene has an extensive knowledge on UI/UX designing.. She understands the requirements very well and delivers her creative designs & prototypes promptly. She notices different and more efficient ways to make a page or UI easier for the user to navigate through.One of the most distinguished traits that Irene has is her eagerness to collaborate with a team. Every time I had a chance to interact in the project with her, I learn an incredible amount about design and things about adobe Photoshop etc.. It is an enriching experience to work with a designer who listens to her team members' ideas and collaborate to create something great. I would recommend Irene for any position that requires a team player with a passion for UX/UI design.
