Developing a site for horse training to promote their business.

My role in this project was mainly in development. While developing I had opportunities to design UI elements that enhanced the users’ experience, loading elements, horse slider, horse navigation.

Horses

After looking at the design I had to think of the most user friendly interaction to navigate the horse. By allowing the horses pop-up to go full screen, on mobile, gives the information more space. This also allowed for another means of navigation, by swiping left and right the user can scroll through all horses without the need for closing the pop-up. This reduces the number of clicks and makes for a more pleasant user experience.

Loading

By loading in the information sequentially it gives the user the sense of discovering the information. This also enhances the user experience and makes the site feel more considered.

I am a designer-developer, working as a project lead at Dauntless. I enjoy the fusion of the creative and the technical. I love creating and implementing user-centered designs. I work closely with designers to constantly re-evaluate the design to ensure the best flow and usability. I strive daily to improve my skills and push the skills I do have to create stronger and better user experiences. At the end of the day, there is nothing like punching the air in celebration after solving a complicated problem.

I have many hobbies ballet, music, hiking, reading, drawing. I thoroughly enjoy traveling and learning new cultures, I have been to North America, Central America and all over Europe, Asia is next on my list.
