Hi, I'm Ty
Product Designer
Philadelphia, PA
Graduated from Drexel University, June 2024 - Summa Cum Laude
2.5 years professional experience, last at Craft Studios
I thrive on end-to-end design projects, blending creativity with business objectives in team settings.
When I'm not working, I'm making music, watching Premier League soccer, playing with my demonic cat, or logging a new movie on my Letterboxd.
Approach
The design process is non-linear, but my approach typically includes the following:
Understand
My design process begins with a research phase to better understand the problem.
Stakeholder alignment to understand business goals
Market research to understand competitors and users
Heuristic evaluation to identify areas of improvement in current solution

Explore
During this phase, I explore solutions based on research insights. Validating through user testing is ideal during this phase. I also frequently seek feedback from my peers.
Personas

Journey maps
Moodboards

Deliver
In the deliver phase, I refine top-performing designs with detailed documentation and responsive states before handing off to development.
